What are the growth habits of the Dekopon?

That would make sense, the Ponkan is the same.

Thanks all,

Knowing that I have a place in mind that it will fit nicely. Time sure does seem to fly by. It seems like just last summer that I planted my first but it's really been two years. If I get the same growth this year as last year I'll have some fair sized trees and hopefully more citrus than I know what to do with. I'm sure the neighbors will be pleased.

I guess I'll start the hole preparation and get to planting it this Friday. I'm sure it will be happier in the ground.

I was surprised at how old this variety is.
