Well, it survived this dreadful winter with flying colors! The plant gradually defoliated throughout the winter and by April it only had three leaves remaining from last year. Now, there is new growth emerging from every single node and there is no twig die-back at all. For the citrus nerds here, the plant survived 14.9F and over 150 consecutive hours below freezing. Zero protection from me, in fact it was planted above ground in an an inverted, bottomless 10 gallon nursery pot. I plan to lift off the "pot" and place boulders around the soil mass.

I eat my lemons fresh just lemony flavor doesn't cut it they need to be the real thing Meyer lemons are much too sweet for me I am starting to squeeze lemon juice into my coffee
That totally depends on you and your growing skills. Not on the plants.
Limes are my most productive tropical crop.
Hi Jan!! Hoping all is well. Miss you and many. I love your greenhouse. Did you see the eclipse yesterday?

You can graft at 1.5 years old. I grafted a Seville with New Zealand lemonade at 7 months old
Thank you, I'm trying to figure out the best type of graft to use as the Seville trunks are still quite small, I'm also guessing the best place to get a branch would be the very top of the 3 yr old Eureka Sapling, if I remember correctly it should "remember" its age so to speak, do you know how long it might take to fruit when grafted? I'm also wondering about compatibility, I was reading Eureka Lemons are not compatible with a lot of Rootstock varieties.
