I planted it as a what if project wondering if it would work for me and surprisingly it took off like a weed! I assume it is a Lisbon going by the looks of the lemon I harvested the seeds from??? It has probably 3 times as many thorns as the Meyer lemon does.
      It is good to know that it can handle a bit colder temps up north here. We have a few days where it gets cold at night but the days are still sunny and warm before it is cold all day long. The Lisbon lemon is still easy to move back and forth from inside to the outside, but our Meyer lemon tree is getting very tall and heavy to move easily.

      When you have a minute, take a look at the leaf pattern on your tree. It should have 1 big leaf in the middle and a smaller leaf on each side making a 3 leaf pattern which is referred to as tri … trifoliate. We love the lemon/grapefruit like flavor. Good for making marmalade, you can candy the skin, juice, insert repellent when infused with oil and so much more. The seeds are valuable also because they are used as rootstock to make other citrus more cold hardy. I’ll be doing some cutting this week from Mr Roberts tree. They should be able to fruit next year. A tree grown from seed can take 5 to 10 years to produce fruit.

    Your video about grinding egg shells came up on my page today. (Which I actually do 😉) Now I’m one deep watching your videos. What great information you are sharing with all of us. I do believe nothings in life is by accident. I was meant to receive your knowledge.
    I do have a question. I live in Illinois and bought a house about a year ago. My plant beds and underneath my back deck has wild onions growing. I have read just about everything I can find on how to get rid of them. They are a huge nuisance and god forbid I hit one with the weed eater because that smell stays with me all day. So my question is, do you happen to have any recommendations on how to eradicate wild onions in my yard? I have dug up so many which is not an easy task especially if the bulb breaks at all then I pretty much wasted my time.
    Anyway, thank you again for your sharing your videos. 😊

      I really appreciate your message. I would agree for the most part in that things do happen in our lives for a reason. Understanding that can sometimes be difficult but yeah, there’s a reason for everything. I really hope to see you more often.
      As far as wild onions. Under the house you can do a 50/50 water and vinegar solution and spray them but you will also be damaging any other grass or plants. I generally allow them to grow because they mask the smell of other plants acting as a repellent to a certain extent. Then there is cooking with them. Really good in omelets, on burgers but not too many organic remedies.

      @ I will have to keep looking at your videos to find out how you amend clay. Mine is the red hard as rock type and every arborist says I can’t do it. I believe after watching you, they are wrong.
      I’m newly subscribed and look forward to learning from you. Very informative videos with an easy to understand approach of instructions. I also love that I can concentrate on what you’re explaining without a lot of background music blaring. Thank you for taking your time for us trying so hard to learn 😊

    I wonder what gives it the grapefruit taste, I’ve seen some people grow little small lemon trees indoors

      Honestly, not sure exactly what it is. I use the seeds to grow root stock for my kumquat and browns select satsuma. The root stock makes the scion more hardy.

    🤔 wonder about my key lime... I'm in the same zone as you are.

    • @growingoutthebox

      Key limes aren’t very cold hardy. I believe down to about 40 degrees. Look for something like a Red lime. They are hardy down to 10 degrees

      @@starwarsphan3159 Yes. I have a browns select satsuma. Its mother plant has survived 7 degrees. The arctic frost was supposed to be superior but didn’t make it.

    When I put my tree in the ground it has survived two winters and one freeze BUT still no fruit!

      Depends on the age and if you have a late frost when flowering.

    Yeah -10 degrees is not going to cut it in Michigan. When I was growing up we had -30 wind chill. Lately we have been having milder weather temps

    Show us hpw to grow from seeds please i must have 6 avacado seeds sitting in a little water , nothing happening 😮lol

    • @growingoutthebox
      @growingoutthebox  2 місяці тому

      I have a 4 year old avocado plant grown from seed. The leaves have good health benefits but I may not see fruit for 7 up to 10 years. Most fruit trees are hybrids so growing from seed will most likely be an inferior plant with more disease and less tasty fruit. Most all citrus and avocados are grown from cuttings which are clones of the original plant.
