What do you do with your trees during the winter, Ryan? They look great! |

Thank you both.
Stephen, In the winter I bring them into a modified insulated shed with large windows. With low temps and less direct light they go dormant for our 4 month winter and do pretty well. I keep strict control on temperature, humidity, and bugs during the winter. Ive also found that winter is one of the most critical times to let the soil dry between waterings. |

Your trees look great. The key lime should flower & fruit throughout the year. Mine started producing fruit the second year from seed & is always in bloom and / or fruit.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys! Ill continue to post photos as the season continues.
Laaz, is there a more vigorous citrus variety then key lime? it seems like its always flushing, flowering & fruiting, what a fun citrus to grow. (even though the fruit is moderately useful  ) |

I drink Corona, so the fruit is always useful... 
Also Key lime pie goes over well at my house.
I don't know about more vigorous, Calamondin produces a load of fruit every year. Great fruit for grilling. Steaks and fish are fantastic when grilled with fresh squeezed Calamondin juice.

Those are very beautiful citrus plants! Much better than most of my potted citrus. |
