    I have 3 citrus trees in 26” pots for 10-15 years. Valencia Orange and Eureka lemon had even been in the ground, but were not doing well so I dug them up. I can control water, fertilizer, & pruning. Fantastic. 🧡💛💚 PS they started out in small pots and gradually got repotted. 🤗

    Let me add a tip next time. Put it in the pot while it's in the container. Still sell it. Get the soil tamped down everything where you want it in the pot. With the plant centered then take it out as flower pot loose from the roots. Drop it in the hole

    One thing I'm wondering about- the leaf miner info- would cutting off the affected leaf stop the nasty little things?

    A neighbor gave me an orange tree with thick beautiful roots., that was in her front yard. It has more than 2 doz of green fruits and flowers. It was dug with care, I used a big pot like the one you showed. Adding 3 sticks of citrus food. Hopefully, it will survive, it seems to be doing OK. This was 2 weeks ago, and only some of the flowers that already had green fruit have fallen off the tree. It is about 4' high.

      Yes, get a Dwarf lemon tree. Use Organic soil, and grow lights. Or, put plant by a very sunny (6-8 hours of sun) widow.

    So my Green Thumb semi-dwarf Wash. navel is about 4 years old in a big terra cotta pot in my yard. It has made 1 orange. The blossoms drop like crazy. I water when the soil is dry and the wind is high to the bottom runoff. What can I put in that pot now as the fruit is setting to revitalize it? Thanks! I just put EB Stone citrus fertilizer in.

    I live in Wisconsin so I have to bring my citrus plant indoors for the winter. Over the winter the plant looses most of the leaves. Is this normal? And I can't get fruit.
