Almost all of the trees sold are grafted to any nurseries oor store you go to. That means all of them are fruit bearing trees. And one of the main attraction why you buy a citrus are flowers or immature fruits that are hanging on their sides. And your question is how old are before you can eat theiir fruit? As soon as they are ripe that's the answer. And that's where your love for that plant comes out. Because you would be taking care of that baby just like a baby and you would be thinking a lot of things how you can make it happy. and you are sad if it is sick and yo are so happy if it is healthy. And you would be asking a lot more questions. And that's all the beauty of them all. If you are successful.

If your ceiling joists span exterior wall to wall, perpindicular walls are not load bearing. If the joists are spliced and land on that wall,they are still not necessarilly bearing, but you dont want to interrupt the splice.If you have access to your attic, you can see if there is any roof bracing landing on that particular wall,or any structural element indicatiating a load bearing wall.If no access, as in mariposatraicionera(phew!)'s case, you will have to cut out an inspection hole in the area of the wall enough to get a look to see if their is bracing, or any other element landing on the wall making it load bearing. Properly supported bearings start from the foundation and travel on up. On a crawl space or basement,as ron stated,It starts at the footing or pier and is supported up through the floor,then posts or a wall, on up to the roof framing that is braced off of that. All supported down below at the foundation level. This is why trusses and engineered products such as i-joists have come in to play, because they span uninterrupted, making interior walls partitions rather than load bearing.

Thanks everybody !! We didn't do much this year. Went to dinner at Provino's over in Chattanooga. Thought about going to see a movie but there was really nothing we wanted to see and definitely nothing we wanted to stay our late for. So we just went, ate, and came home. Gonna watch TV and play on the computer for the rest of the evening. Pooh Bear
