Re: Growing Citrus

My previous Meyer lemon produced 90 lemons one year.

Gardeners who live up north and buy lemons at the supermarket have no idea how wonderful a lemon picked off a tree in the family room can taste. Yes, TASTE. And a lemon meringue pie made with them …  heaven.

I have dwarf Persian lime, calamondin and Meyer lemon growing in pots
indoors. The plants came from Florida, retailed by Fifth Season Gardening,
5 stores in NC and Va). I repotted them shortly after purchase ($25 each).
They do well with a soil mix that includes biochar.
I also use rock dust. The calamondin is doing famously and is setting a few
blooms. The lemon is full of fragrant blooms. My previous Meyer lemon
produced 90 lemons one year.
