For people coming from northern places, it is always amazing to discover the Mediterranean plants.
Citrus fruits have different maturing times, depending on the species, the cultivar, the climate, and the harvesting method. In general, though, you can expect that your citrus tree will be mature and ready to produce fruit in the second or third year after you plant it
Citrus fruits usually ripen in winter or spring, but some varieties can ripen in summer or autumn. The color of the peel is not always a reliable indicator of the ripeness of the fruit, as some citrus fruits can change color before they are fully ripe, or remain green even when they are ripe. The best way to determine the ripeness of a citrus fruit is to taste it or to measure its sugar and acid content.
Citrus fruits are a wonderful gift from nature that you can enjoy all year round.
