GENERAL INFORMATION

• The Balady citron is a variety of citron, or etrog, grown in Israel, mostly for Jewish ritual purposes.
• Not native to the region, it was imported around 500 or 300 BCE by either Jewish or Greek settlers.
• Initially not widely grown, it was promoted and popularized in the 1870s by Rabbi Chaim Elozor Wax.

SOIL REQUIREMENT

• Citrus prefer a soil pH of 6.0–7.0.
• An ideal citrus soil is well-structured, with good drainage and a minimum of 60 cm of topsoil.

FEEDING/FERTILIZER

• All citrus trees will benefit from a slightly nitrogen-rich or balanced NPK fertilizer that also has some micro-nutrients in it.

WATER REQUIREMENT
