I love winter citrus, so bright and beautiful.

| Lemons This tree is about five years old |

| Ripe Limes Plus cicada shell |

| Honey Murcotts Tree about a year old |
- At this time of year collar rot can be a problem. Its been dry for several days, but the ground around the trees is still saturated, so I've moved away any mulch that was in direct contact with the trees trunks.
- I also did some weeding around the bases of the trees, citrus hate competing with weeds.

5 people love me:
I have citrus envy. I have a lemon tree in a pot in the greenhouse, but it's not producing fruit. It's my test tree, if I can get lemons off it, I'll try other citrus in pots.
yep, citrus envy here too.... I have one little lime on my potted lime and my tangelo is turning yellow, think it needs some attention!
Good luck :)
Don't forget that lemons can be utterly neurotic - always too damp or too dry or not enough magnesium or didn't like that breeze last Thursday when there was a full moon!!
Mine's only got fruit this year because summer was so cool, usually its goes OH MY GOD its 35 degrees and drops all its baby fruits everywhere.
Oh poor neglected tangelo :( Oh I kid, tell it to stop acting like a sissy. You have to be firm with citrus, firm but kind ;)
Your trees look great! I cannot WAIT for the builders rubble in the front yard to go, so I can turn it into a citrus orchard.
