Choosing the right container size can make or break your citrus harvest. In this short, learn the exact pot sizes that help citrus trees flower more, hold more fruit, and avoid stunted growth. Small pots limit root expansion, restrict nutrient flow, and drastically reduce fruiting. But oversized pots can encourage too much moisture retention, increasing the risk of root rot.
This guide breaks down ideal sizes for lemons, limes, mandarins, oranges, and other citrus—whether you’re growing dwarf, semi-dwarf, or standard rootstock. You’ll see why 15-gallon containers are the minimum for reliable fruit set, why 24-gallon containers are the sweet spot, and how large pots like 100-gallon containers support massive harvests.
If you’ve ever wondered why your citrus grows leaves but no fruit, your pot size may be the reason. Watch this before repotting or buying new containers, and give your tree the space it needs to thrive.
