Greetings all,
I've been growing container citrus for a few years now in Atlanta, Georgia and I thought I'd share some photos of my collection. Some of the photos are so-so as I took them in the morning before the sun hit the trees. Maybe I'll post some more later..
Hirado Buntan pummelo on the left and Variegated Pink Lemon on the right and my cat, Grainne with her cat grass at the bottom.
The buds on the Variegated Pink Lemon are tinged purple. They're really nice against the variegated foliage.

My poor Marsh grapefruit -- it had a fight with mealy bugs last winter and almost died, but its recovering now. All the growth at the bottom is new and above the graft. After I took these pictures I noticed that its also starting to have another growth flush. Maybe it will look like a tree again soon!.
A meyer lemon and a limequat (Eustis maybe?) together in one pot. They were sold as a "fruit cocktail" tree, but they were really just two cuttings rooted in the same pot. I separated the root balls and repotted them, but I had to put them back in one pot to save space.
The limequat hasn't stopped flowering all summer!
A Valencia orange
I love to cook Thai food, so I had to have a Kieffer lime!

A little calamondin - but its growing like crazy...
New Calamondin fruit
A Meyer lemon -- this one had to be pruned back severly because of damage from mealy bugs in the winter, but it has sprung back well.
Here's the whole left side of the porch. The tree in the corner there is a Moro Blood orange. I didn't get any good pictures of it. It was my first tree, but it has never bloomed.
Here's the whole right side of the porch.
Here's my porch guardian. She loves it out there...
Ok, so they're not citrus, but I liked the photo. I bought these for my girlfriend, but I'm their caretaker
Well, I hope you like my trees. Thanks for looking!
Cheers,
Pelham
