Why We Ditched Citrus: Too Much Drama for the Average Joe!
Listen up, fruit fanatics—citrus trees these days, are the extreme divas of the orchard, and we’re done playing their entourage!
At Pepe’s Fruit Trees, we’ve hung up our citrus-selling hat because, frankly, growing these tangy troublemakers is tougher than convincing a cat to take a bath. Even pros need a chemical arsenal and pesticide playbook to keep ‘em happy, and we’re not about that life. Citrus trees demand constant coddling—perfect soil, precise watering, and a hawk-eye for pests like the Asian Citrus Psyllid and Citrus Leaf miner, which spread diseases like citrus greening and canker faster than gossip in a small town. Without a truckload of sprays, it’s a losing battle for most folks. We’d rather hook you up with low-maintenance tropical gems like cacao or jaboticaba that don’t require a PhD in pest control.
Want the full scoop on why citrus is such a headache? Check our citrus care guide for the gritty details. But trust us—stick to our easygoing fruit trees, and you’ll be harvesting sweet rewards without the sour stress. Happy planting, you savvy grower!
