Hello. I have some questions about some problems I face right now with some of my citrus.

1. I have a 2-3 foot Calamondin who had last year more than 100 fruits. I kept it inside during the winter at a 70F (20C) or more temperature. Now that the spring is almost gone I don't see new growth. It had a minor flush last month but I don't know why the new leaves are just lame. Odd looking new leaves, and every day more an more drop. I also noticed that the buds are alien looking.
Maybe someone has a opinion. Here are some pictures:

2. My Meyer lemon tree is over growing. I have never seen something like these. Is it normal?

3. My Tahiti lime is dropping fast new growth. What can cause this?


And one more question:
Does someone here have Lemon Rosso? I have one but I not sure what kind of hybrid it is.

Thank you!

That's some strange growth on both the calmondin and the Meyer lemon. At one time you talked about spraying your trees with 6BAP. Were those two trees sprayed with 6BAP?

A couple of ideas on the tiny new leaves falling off your persian lime:

I've noticed that my Bearss/Tahiti/Persian Lime is the most sensitive of all of my trees to sudden rises in temperature. The newest leaves start to transpire water faster than the than the roots can supply water for a short period of time until the roots catch up. The new growth on my Persian lime droops nearly every day during the summer as the temperature rises from about 50F/10C to 90F/32C over a period of 5 or 6 hours. When the temperature becomes stable, either hot or cold, the new growth recovers quickly. When the sudden increase in leaf transpiration is too severe, the newest growth at the tips dries out and the tiny leaves at the tips fall off.

Another thing I have noticed on a couple of my tress is when a new growth flush produces an excessive number of new shoots, some of the new shoots fall off while the leaves are still very small. In this case the leaves that fall off are still soft and not dried out.

I don't think either of these situations is much of a problem.

I agree--the leaf drop is due to water stress and that could be due to changes in temp, humidity or water availability or even root loss.

I never used hormones on these trees.
I have other ones treated with hormone that are more than OK now.

This forum started to get kind of dead.

Hello Covrig,

Assuming relative proximity of our places here are my thoughts:
Morning temps are still too low, that shoul go better starting next week. When min temp go above 13 C growth will be much better.
So far, I'm keeping my trees on the west side, and partialy shaded.

I see nothing specially weird on your plants, nice looking trees.
When I brought my Calamondin from nursery year ago I got the bonus,
cotton cushion scales. Several years ago, also as bonus, red mites came.
Add to it domestic pests, I see some weird effects of a bud mites on Poncirus Trifoliata summer bloom. Also I've found a few deformed lemons on one of the trees under investigation (50+ year old lemon trees).
Having said that, maybe unusual pattern on your Calamondin shows infestation.

covrig your lemon looks like a rough lemon. I have a red rough lemon or so I was told but it has not fruited for me yet. I also have a variegated rough lemon, but that one drops it's fruit every time it blooms.

In your "Limone Rosso" slideshow you have two photos of fruits.
Do they com from the same tree?
Because they look so different.

Yes they are from the same tree. The more sun and heat they get it gets more red.
I have found somewhere that may Rosso lemon it is called limonimedica pigmentata and it is a lemon citron hybrid.
