My Meyer Lemon Tree!
Comments (65)Hey! So my lemon is nearly ripe now. I suspect only a few more weeks. It has taken a LONG time! I am so excited! I went on break for a few weeks and right before I left I gave my tree double watering with no nutrients. When I came back there had been a lot of new growth and color development in the big guy/girl. I also have a neighbor (an older lady) who has had it rough (her husband dying, her daughter has cancer, a few of her dogs died; etc.) and I would always talk to her about plants when I went out back, on the deck, at my mom's house. They are both very kind, her and the daughter, but I don't know them all that well. Anyway, this christmas/channukah, my mom received this box on the doorstep, and what was it? A mineola tangelo tree (3 years old from four-winds). How sick? So I have some pictures of the Meyer, which I have had for about 7 month or more now and a picture of the new little gal, Susane (Mineola Tangelo): Susane (mineola tangelo - This is either a tangerine crossed with a pumelo OR a manderine orange crossed with a grapefruit) Maybe someone can make heads or tails of it. I have read about these and know about their non-self-pollinating characteristic. I will hopefully be able to pollinate it with my meyer. We will see. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the New Year! Happy 2013, Doc Citrus...See MoreNew Meyer Lemon - 5 trees or just 1 too deep?
Comments (15)I'm sure your suggestion of five rooted cuttings is the correct one. Meyers Lemon cuttings root easily and quickly with a bit of mist and bottom heat. Commercially - for the ornamental potted market - it makes sense to do this. Most of all, you don't need an expert grafter. Simply a handful of shoots which anyone can stick in a pot. If one dies, it is easily removed. The multiple shoots quickly make a nice looking bushy plant ready for sale. Cheap and cheerful! Dis-entangle the roots by swishing around in a large bucket of not-too-cold water, and you'll discover five plants for the price of one....See MoreNeed help pruning a 1 year Meyer Lemon tree
Comments (7)Chop them off. You in see how there are three lobes to the leaves? That's how you know it's not Meyer lemon. If the one behind in the picture doesn't have 3 lobe leaves then you can leave that one. But the front two for sure need to be removed....See MoreMy Meyer lemon tree 1st. Flowering
Comments (3)The one comment was yours. The reason you haven't gotten an answer is because this is the clematis forum, and you want the citrus forum....See Morepuglvr1
