Comments (14)Yeah that's about the right price for the W&N citrus trees at Costco. This year, they stopped providing the semi-dwarf -- unless you actually saw some Ashley? I saw less than 5 semi-dwarf orange, the other 100+ were standard (Carrizo). Last year (2009) it was the other way around. However, the lemon did have about 3 different root stocks to choose from. If they keep the contract with Costco, they should be arriving again around March/Apr. If you are OK with keeping multiple trees, I would take Ashleys' advice and buy the additional one with the shape already set. However, I have planted a Robertson Navel tree that looked exactly like the one in the pic and I am finally training it as a central leader. I let the bottom develop it's natural "bushy" look until it was very well established -- it only was about 4 feet tall at 6 yrs old or so. I've seen MANY of these 4W dwarf Orange bushes STAY at that height. The stated 6'x6' on the label is the "full maturity". The dwarf Meyer bushes can stay moderately sized, but the Eureka's and many grapefruits can still get very big when planted in ground. The new trunk I "chose" is starting to really thicken up now and is now above 7 feet tall with just "enough" strong lateral branching. I'll top it there, but the high vigor will try to sprout more branches right at the top. I don't know how long I'll be pinching the new sprouts back for, maybe forever....See MoreHelp me identify leader from lateral branch [citrus, lemon, potted]
Comments (10)[late-spring UPDATE] So, I started fertilising the lemon tree two months ago and it has been receiving a lot of direct sun for a month or so already. The leader branch has put out about 6 new leaves on around 7" of new length. I've been out of the apartment for 6 days traveling and this is what happened: As you can see on the right — a huge water sprout appeared! It has large thorns, a swirly branch and it grew out really fast. I know I should probably prune it, but I'd like to hear it from someone else :) What I'm thinking, actually, is why is that happening? Why are the water sprouts appearing. It seems the lemon is lacking something, or I might be wrong. The big one is not the only one. A couple of smaller ones started growing too: What I'm actually most puzzled about is that the leader branch is not completely upright, it goes a couple degrees to the side (to the left on the next image). The other side being the first water sprout that I pruned in the post above. Also, the one I think is the leader is showing potential new growth but nothing is happening for a while now. Any advice is welcome — I will be brave and prune it wherever it's necessary :)...See MoreWhat to do with a big lateral branch (citrus, lemon, potted)
Comments (2)Hi Steve, thanks for your comment. I posted two identical posts by accident, the other one is here — and I got another comment that says it's a water sprout. If you think that's not right, I'd be glad to hear your thoughts on the other post. Thanks...See Moremisterbaby
