Thanks Mike for those suggestions. As for me, being a New Englander that here,I must bring mine in at the end of every fall. For my trees, it all depends on what kind of environment I am going to subject/expose them to when they come in. For ALL, they are receiving much less direct sun by the time they come in. It seems that by getting just 3-4 hours of direct sun outdoors by teh time fall starts, they manage just fine indoors with a very bright lit room or sunny windows. For some, I bring them in when the days are still warmn to get them use to a warm sunny window or my warm sunny greenhouse by the end of fall. For others, I bring them in when after they have been subjected to much cooler conditions outside for at least a week or two before I bring them into my cool sunny room. For others still, I bring these in when the outside temps match the indoor temps at my work or other plant room, that being in the average 60's. By doing this, I seem to prevent any leaf drop and a weakened state that makes them susecptable to pest too. In short, try and bring them in when temps just about match the enviroment indoors and try and match the light levels as much as possible. As Mike said, low light levels cooler environment. Higher light levels the warmer the room should be. Above 55 degrees at least. Mike

I finally found seeds , and was successful in growing davanam. this year, my plants are a foot tall and blooming, I am saving the blooms for fresh batch of seeds. Seeds germinate within 3 days and are very easy to grow, but when transplanted most of them did not survive.

To me, it appears to be what's called "Artillery Fungus". I don't think it is harmful to plants but can be a problem when it gets on cars or house siding. Google Artillery Fungus for more information. Art

How nice of Lars! I also send some of my lemons to friends, as we have too much to use even though I freeze a lot of juice. It's funny how we always think of citrus, and especially lemons, as summertime indulgences. They're winter fruits, the heaviest harvest is...right....now. The oldest and biggest of our three Meyers: The second: The third - I had to prune off a third of the tree as it was leaning too far into the walkway, so I lost some of what would have been harvested: Every Meyer, properly fed and watered, will give from between 50-100 lbs. of fruit, especially if the weather cooperates. One of the newer contributors to the Citrus forum is Johnmerr of Guatemala, who is attempting to develop a high quality production orchard of Meyers for export. You can see the first fruits of his efforts at the link below, if you're interested. Here is a link that might be useful: Johnmerr's Meyer Lemons for the Show
