Jim: You are a real pal and I appreciate the experiment...Thanks and I
hope you enjoy the plants for all the trouble you've gone to. :-)

Since the one I bought [and planted this morning] has seven immature
<br>fruit, I can probably answer your question next citrus season
[winter]. <br>The fruits, when ripe, are roughly the size of a small
grapefruit. The <br>immature fruit on my new tree are about the size of
store-bought lemons <br>now. There is always the chance that the tree
will be shocked by the <br>planting and abort the fruit, but I don't
think that's too likely.<br><br>On Friday, May 14, 2004, at 05:16 AM,
