http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/hs132. This is a great site for information on home grown citrus. All the citrus trees are native to Florida and will grow with no care other than fertilizing them twice a year, once early in the year and then in the fall. If you are going to prune citrus don't do it when they are in bud because you are going to interfere with this coming crop. Citrus are in bud right now so it is better to wait until after they have formed fruit and probably late in the year. The information in the website will give you exactly what you need to grow and care for citrus.
