Well i do live in south florida and we have been having really warm weather 80's so I'm hoping that it would be okay to repot because it's been so warm. We did have a big frost that came thru for two days it got down to 29 and it was cold. I now have to nurse my areca palms, frangipani, and my garden back to health. Thanks again for the help with my lemons and I know i'll be back for more advice.

I think they are fascinating trees--Poncirus. The first time I ever the tree was in Longwood Gardens in Pa.. They are hardy were I am but no one seems to grow them and I never see them being sold at garden centers. As I understand it, botanists classify them either as true Citrus or a very close relative. Their leaves remind me of the Kaffir lime (though the Ponciris has an additional third lobe). I As I said, I have mine containerized because I tread the thought of what I'd have to go through if I ever wanted it removed--those thorns are NASTY. Then again, I'd imagine they make for great security fences--and they're deer resistant I believe. Keep in mind though that the tree is deciduous.

Hi Kotlet00. Canada has some of the best peat bogs in the world. They are 90% of Canadian wetlands and they cover approximately 113.65 million hectares. Canada produces 1.34 million tons annually. The United States imports 87% of our annual production representing 95% of their peat imports. In the Province of Ontario pine fines are not used and they are not sold at garden centers. You can buy larger chunks of bark for pathways but it does not have the same properties as the tiny pine fines. In the United States it is a regional product and some states it is readily available and in other states it is unavailable. You can find some recipes for potting mix at Four Winds Growers website. Rose soil works well. You can go to any cannabis shop in Vancouver and buy a premium bag of potting soil. Avoid potting soils with wetting agents as they will keep citrus roots too wet. Look for potting soil with a maximum humidity of 60%. Citrus roots want to be in the 40-60% moisture range. I prefer clay pots without ceramic as they will dry out and breath. You want the pot not too much bigger than the root ball. If you put a small root ball in a large pot the soil at the bottom of the pot will remain wet and the root ball will begin to dry out.
