You may well have received a citrus plant as a present at Christmas or the New Year. We share our knowledge on how best to look after these attractive plants that will bear fruit if provided with ideal environment.
To avoid disappointment make sure that your plant is a named cultivar from a reliable retailer. Remember that plants grown from pips will not flower, you need a grafted plant for successful fruiting.
If you're like us, then we're sure you're starting to prepare for the big day, gathering decorations, presents and thinking about what size Turkey you'll need for your Christmas dinner.

Hydrangeas are a popular garden shrub due in no small part to the fantastic range of colours they produce on large flowerheads and their hardiness in British conditions. Being deciduous, hydrangeas also put on a good show of colour in their autumn foliage. While older hydrangeas can reach 20ft (6m) in height and spread, most varieties now sold in garden centres will be restricted to 3-5ft (1-1.5m).
Hall's Garden Centre has always maintained close links with the local community and we are enthusiastically supporting Sutton Coldfield's entry into this year's Britain in Bloom competition.

It was a trip to East Africa that initially sparked our partner David Hall's interest in the agapanthus, and twenty eight years later his enthusiasm for these beautiful 'Lilies of the Nile' culminated in his wife bursting into tears of joy.

It's that magical time of the year again, where every family is preparing their home for the festive celebrations ahead.
