Hi everyone! I've been reading messages and learning here for the past couple of months.

The weather finally cooperated and I felt ready enough to get some trees. I purchased a few from Laaz.

These are potted in CHC + Spagnum moss (long fiber) media in a 4:1ish ratio. I bare rooted them by soaking and dunking in warm water.

The containers are called Smart Pots that are air pruning.

The trees received from Laaz seem to be healthy and growing well.

From left to right:
Citron (probably etrog), Sanbokan lemon, Sudachi.

Glad they made it there without a problem. The Citron is not a Etrog, but a unknown variegated Citron. The fruit are like a sweeter type lemon. I do have a variegated Etrog, but none available yet.

Enjoy your trees.

Aww so perdy.

Those containers do look nice, but I wish they came in white.

Are two of those cuttings? I can't tell b/c they seem to be planted a bit deeper in the mulch than I'm used to. But I'm sure Laaz would've commented on that if something was wrong.

The Citron is a rooted cutting, the other two are grafted to trifolata. All three had flower buds when they shipped.
