Sandy soils are good.

You just can mix in a LOT of compost and some clay to improve it.

I would plant your tree directly in the sandy soil of your location. The vast majority of all citrus trees growing in the citrus state of Florida grow in sand and do very well. I would not add any amendments. You can grow your trees either using the organic method, or by standard citrus production. Organic culture always produces a smaller crops than the standard fertilizer method. Whatever you do we wish you and your trees success. - Millet

Well after surviving winter quite well in a pot in my temporary greenhouse, I planted my Meyer's lemon tree in ground (along with my Eureka lemon). Now have lots of growing small lemons and a large number of blossoms and even tinier baby lemons growing. Seems the Improved Meyer's likes being in ground in the greenhouse. Good luck with yours.

I helped a friend in germany last year to build a heated greenhouse and all the citrus plants he planted there exploded in growing and he just cannot believe his eyes how much they grow, bloom and fruit ..
