No rush, Make decisions on how big you want the tree. If you plan to put it out for the summer, start acclimating it to sun light by placing in broken shade starting about 1/2 hour and increasing by 1/2 per day. Seeing your in zone 5 you'll probably want to do this at the heat of the day. Once the tree is out side it will probably branch out on its own. If you got an instruction packet with the tree, follow them very closely. Take your time, others will have specific advice pertaining to lemon trees. I'm growing kumquats, poncirus trifoliata, and sweet lee tangerines from seed, which are handled differently Thanks for posting the picture of your very nice looking tree. I enjoy looking at pictures and showing my own.

HEy Mike, Actually, I did have some plumeria when I first met you but not many....JUST RECENTLY HAVE I BECOME OBSESSED LMAO!!! I'm telling ya the egg method is awesome!!! IT really thickens those fragile roots up quickly. If you can Mike...just try it with one and plant it in a clear plastic pot. I swear, in 6 months(maybe even shorter if the plumeria is out in full sun and temps over 80),you will see for yourself. You will even see how the roots seek out that egg, and the roots end up doubling in girth!! I will NOT repot unless I have the eggs! IT's not worth it to me, and I have found that I end up with much better blooms. Also, I FINALLY got a fig tree collection going!! I have 7 diffrent varieties now and I will have one more to add here very soon. I tried my first ripe fig and it was DELICIOUS!! To me the flavor is very tropical and yummy! Man, I am not going to convince you on growing mango am I!! I'm telling ya...my citrus take more light and in general there 100% less finicky!! I will have to email some pics of mine. I also cannot get my D.R. to bloom but there seedlings. Your actually warmer and you have a longer growing season than I do. The mango will bloom in the early spring and will ripen before you have to bring them indoors. I hate to see you rob yourself of such an awesome experience just because you don't think you have enough light! Cmon Mike were's your sense of adventure?! Take care, Andrew

Probably 40% of the leaves have some kind of holes or missing outeredge. The discoloration is only 2 branches with a handful of leaves apiece so it is more limited. Do you still think it's ok?

Where can I find ponderosa cuttings or trees for sale in Texas? Thanks for any help.
