Looking for Sorrento Lemon Tree
Comments (9)nero, my understanding is that they will be Femminellos in five gallon growers pots. thanx for the site that you sent. and I agree that tree seems a bit too pricey for my blood. i guess when you add in the cost of shipping I'd be looking at close to a hundred bux. I haven't grown lemons yet. so don't want my "starter" tree to cost me an arm and a leg (and a pair of lips as my brother says -- ha, ha, ha). if you find one at one of your big box store, let me know and I'll do the same for you as well. counting the days until spring :-)...See MoreIs it possible to grow a "non-lemon" tree from a lemon seed?
Comments (6)If you planted lemon seeds the resulting plants are lemons. They will not be true to variety but they will always be lemons- nothing "non-lemon" about them. Don't try and judge a plant by the appearance of the sprout- it's way too soon to tell. Of course it is always possible that a weed seed got in there, especially if they are outdoors. Birds deposit all sorts of seeds everywhere....See MoreInterested in Growing Meyer Lemon Trees from Cuttings. Plz Help
Comments (3)I have had good results with cuttings from lemon, about 2 months ago i cut back branches on one of my trees, took all the bits and tryed to root them, 90+% of the lemon cuttings are growing, i have also tried mandarin and calamondin since, none rooted I used a small plastic frame they sell as a greenhouse..., shelves with a plastic bag over it in reality, it was in the house in a bay window for the sun to heat the air, a piece of tissue paper to shield the sun from the plants The cuttings were all about a foot tall, i just cut the bottom off each just below a leaf node, left all the leaves on,i dabbed rooting gel on the end and pushed it into a pot of perlite, watered it, then left it in the greenhouse (tent shelf) it was at 25 deg C for about a month , i sprayed the leaves everyday to keep them wet, after a month i looked and they had rooted 2 inch around and new growth was starting Out of 30 about 28 rooted from the lemon, none from the mandarin or calamondin The cuttings i used were fairly new growth, it was green color but hard, not brand new soft growth...See MoreLooking for Sorrento Lemon Tree
Comments (4)Hellow there, I'm no help, I am not familiar with this variety. You may want to check out the citrus forum. There's two fellas there that are quite knowledgable about citrus and may know a source or even growing it themselve, MrTexas and Joereal. You may want try contacting them....See Morejohnmerr
