Re: Citrus Question

I have grown them indoors/outdoors too and it was much easier in the short  
southern winters than in the north. As CL mentioned scale and white  fly 
plus general lack of sheen on the leaves make them a bit of a pain but  
harvesting fresh lemons and limes - as they say 'priceless'.
The patio hibiscus that I cart around suffer from the same  afflictions.

I  haven't grown limes but I do grow both Ponderosa and Meyer lemons in 
pots and  bring them in for the winter. I harvest between 8 to 10 lemons off of 
each  plant per year. The worst thing about growing them is that the plants 
always  get infested with scale and occasionally some sort of citrus mites. 
By the  spring they look pathetic, but they still bloom and bear fruit each 
year.
