🌲New England gardeners. Mandarin orange and lemon lime tree care in New England.

It’s going to be 38° on Tuesday. Spraying citrus trees with neem oil before bringing them indoors for the winter has several benefits. Neem oil is a natural insecticide, which means it can help prevent pests like mites and aphids from infesting the tree during the winter months. It can also help to prevent the spread of any fungal or bacterial diseases that the tree may have, as neem oil has antifungal and antibacterial properties.

🚨 However, it's important to note that neem oil should be used sparingly, as overuse can lead to a buildup of the oil in the soil, which can harm beneficial soil organisms. It's also important to follow the instructions on the neem oil product you choose, as some concentrations may be too strong for certain plants. 🌿
