Beautiful pic laaz. I have a few seedling FDs just a few inches high and am planning to keep one as an ornamental. |

Thanks Brad. They make great ornamental trees. This is the best time of the year as all the citrus is starting to bloom & the yard smells so good.

Laaz ... you may have answered my question, but are you refering to FD being fragrant, or all of the citrus?
BTW, nice spring shot!
Cheers, Barrie. |

Hey Barrie. I'm talking about my other citrus. Trifoliata does not have much scent at all.

Lazz, how old before FD plants bloom from seed?

I wondered the same. Do they require a certain node count, like citrus from seed?
Cheers, Barrie. |

I've got 12 year old potted seedling FD's. No sign of any flowers.
Of-course England doesn't have the best climate for citrus - probably much like Vancouver! |
