Citrus tree spacing

Citrus (orange, lemon, lime, mandarin, grapefruit) is usually planted at 80 to 200 trees per acre, depending on rootstock vigor and variety. Modern orchards trend toward closer spacing.

Citrus plant population

With rows 22 feet apart and trees every 18 feet you plant about 110 trees per acre. Vigorous rootstocks need wider spacing than dwarfing ones.

These are reference values and change with variety, management and region. For your field, check the seed company recommendation or your local extension service.
