The Lemon Tree shown above is one that we planted at our home in Glendale, Arizona in 1996. We knew it would grow well as it was planted into a newly constructed subdivision, that had once been a citrus orchard. We also planted an OrangeTree, a Grapefruit Tree, & a TangerineTree in our yard. Then, we hoped for the best, that they would grow. Well, we lucked out! They all grew, and they now produce so much citrus, that we end up giving bushels away, every year! All are irrigated by a managed drip system, on a timer that controls the amount of water the citrus trees receive.

George DeLange, the author of this web page, grew up in the Glendale, Arizona area and just about everyone he knew, including his family either owned a few citrus trees or in many cases, hundreds of acres of citrus trees. In the 1950's through the 1970's, the citrus grown in Arizona was packed and shipped to many other areas of the United States. There was so much citrus produced and shipped that Arizona included "Citrus" in what was called the "Five C's." The term "Five C's," stood for the five main items of production in Arizona. Anyone growing up in Arizona from the 1950s through the 1970s knows about the five C's. If your parents or grandparents grew up in Arizona, they can tell you all about them, as the were required learning in the schools. Those items were, Copper, Cattle, Cotton, Citrus and Climate. They all appear on the "Arizona State Seal." Grapefruit, lemons, limes and oranges are still among the most popular citrus grown in Arizona. If you live in the Phoenix Area, often called, "The Valley Of The Sun,"chances are that your home is sitting on an old citrus orchard! Thats good news, that means your yard will grow citrus!
