This is a long list Marc! You better off start looking for some greenhouse plans and try building your own, before it's too late.
Otherwise, by the end of the year, you might end up sleeping in your car, while the plants enjoy full comfort of your own home. |

My eustis limequat currently has some flowers too. I noticed that chose flowers have a scent that is quite different from other citrus. It's à really delicate scent much like lily of the valley! _________________ - Marc

My limequat doesn't have such fragrance, or I do not have receptors in my nose to smell it...
Its scent should be kumquat-like, just like its appearance. |

Maybe, but I don't have a kumquat, so I can't compare... _________________ - Marc

Oh Marc, what are you waiting for? There are so many beautiful kumquat specimens all over the web, waiting for you to place the order.
Just look at this beauty... Its price is rather symbolic. |

It's a bargain!
I don't have a kumquat because I don't like kumquats very much. And as you know, I don't have any spare room (except maybe for something very special...) _________________ - Marc

Like which one, for instance? I see you've got your eye on this blood clementine... |

Certainly, I love all deep blood citrus! But I also prefer defined varieties, that's why I keep looking for that AMOA8! _________________ - Marc

Those pics left me speechless... Great collection and some very healthy trees! Tahiti lime hasn't seen your pruning shears for a while, has it? I need to get myself a meyer tree like yours, either #1 or #2, I won't be choosy... |

The tahiti is a very vigorous grower. The more I trim it, the more it starts growing! I wait with trimming until it gets too much out of shape.
Meyers are about the easiest citrus to grow. They're a must have! _________________ - Marc
