Kate, when you say "sweet" lemon, how sweet is sweet? It may be a sweet lime, which looks like a lemon, and is sub-acid sweet. Very insipid. Cherished in the Middle East, but not so popular here in the USA. My Meyer lemons are not sweet. They're acidic, just not as acidic as a Eureka or Lisbon. But biting into one will probably not give you a "sweet" reaction. Just maybe a little bit less acidic than a Eureka or Lisbon (the two more common lemons available to the retail market.) And, you might want to check out Montery Bay Nursery. Down in Monterey Bay area, but they are a wholesale nursery and provide really high quality citrus, and some neat, more usual citrus to many nurseries throughout the state of California. You can contact them to see what retail nurseries in your area buy from them. I can special order any of their varieties through Anderson Nursery in Carlsbad for me. You don't have your USDA/Sunset Zone in your "Posted By" sig line (see mine), so not sure how cold you get up there, but I think melikeeatplants made a great suggestion in a Meiwa kumquat (my favorite kumquat). You also might consider the Satsumas, especially the Frost Owari Satsuma mandarin, one of the most cold tolerant citrus going. And quite good. And blood oranges should turn very red for you, too, if you can protect them from frost, so either a Moro if you really want something colorful, or a Tarocco, which some folks like the taste of better (I like them both, and think Moro actually tastes very unique and good.)

I am one of the crazy people who would buy plants from other states and bring them home, usually on plants. Done that many time from CA. Never an issue. I know some mail order places won't ship into certain states, CA usually is one. They have to be strict as agriculture is a major thing for their economy.

Agoodlot! That was a huge kind hearted thing for you to do. In fact, Nick seems like a great person since I have seen him here so you can be assured it's in good hands. Funny you should mention the Fish Emulsion because what you see is for real, at least in my case too. I have yet to battle mites and scale and other pests that ail many of my fellow citrus partners here from just that alone, used consistently all summer which takes dedication. If it were not for this routine, I would fight them all the time like a use too in years past. There use to be a time when many friends and members here had the same results and I believe many have left for many reasons but one because many had pest issues and no longer do, so no longer come here. I miss them all. Please, feel free to share your experience with Fish Emulsion since the turnover group of a minute few have become very , let's just put this in a nice way, doubtful of its benefits)) You are a blessing here and I am sure your trees will be very happy. Here's a link I'd love you to post to..Best regards my friend [https://www.houzz.com/discussions/fish-fertilizer-emulsion-with-foliagepro-proper-dosage-dsvw-vd~5224289?n=34[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/fish-fertilizer-emulsion-with-foliagepro-proper-dosage-dsvw-vd~5224289?n=34) Mike

That would be rose campion (no 'H' :-)) It is a rampant self seeder. In my area, it considered pretty much a weed!
