It's not sand, just normal, dry soil. And the water drains away from the tree towards that drain. What fertilizing regime would you suggest?
Good
I follow the fertilization guidelines in this manual. Louisiana Home Citrus Production, see page 6.
Remove the grass around the base of tree out to edge of the canopy, mulch (pine straw, leaves, whatever you prefer), fertilize according to the guideline in the manual.
Don’t over water. 1 inch of water once per week, rain will provide most of that, just water during dry periods. Sometimes I’ll add a little magnesium sulfate (epsom salt), 1 tbsp in a gallon of water, if leaves are showing a tinge of yellow. Citrus responds well to magnesium supplements.
