Growing Citrus Trees
As one of the most loved tree varieties grown in backyards across the country, Australians have enjoyed home grown citrus fruits for over one hundred years. Growing citrus fruits is a great way to add colour to your garden and grow your own tasty produce. By growing citrus trees, you will decorate your garden with beautiful and fragrant flowers that eventually produce zingy, flavoursome fruit that you can harvest for years to come. Citrus trees require a bit of love, attention and the right growing conditions to thrive. Gardeners can grow citrus trees in both pots and gardens as long as the trees have sufficient sunlight and are planted in quick-draining soil. When properly cared for, citrus trees will start producing fruits roughly two years after planting.

Directions
- Prepare an ice bath. Combine the sugar and 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Stir well, and set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, and cook, stirring occasionally, until all of the sugar has dissolved, about 10 minutes.
- Pour the sugar syrup into a medium bowl, and set the bowl in the ice bath to cool; the syrup should yield 2 1/2 cups.
