Got a Mandarin, Key Lime, and Sour Orange in the backyard. Any recommendations for keeping care of them? Any certain sprays to safely kill off fungus and bugs?

I hear Dan Gill talk about horticultural oils for citrus, but my trees this past year were almost maintenance free. I had navals the size of softballs.

I have a naval and a Louisiana sweet. They are full of flower this year and I did not fertilize this year. This year I may try some oils to make sure the fruit stays presentable.

I love the smell of the citrus flowers I wish some one made a fragrance for it.

Mine are in flower as well for the Sour Orange, the Manderin just started to bare fruit but very small, Key Lime is a recent addition. All of them I use Vigoro Fertilizer Spics every 6 months, recently bought an spray with oils for the fungus and insects.
