I'm growing a lemon 🍋 tree🌳! do y'all want updates?

So do you keep the mango plant indoors for the duration of it's life?

If I was going to keep it here, it would have to be indoors throughout the cold months. I have a brother that lives in Arizona. If the mango survives until next October it can go home with him.

Apples and pear would thrive in your location.

I have apples, cherries and plums along with numerous other trees. Peach trees won't live here but I have one that came up in the garden and has made it through 4 winters so far. It is highly unlikely it will ever get big enough to produce fruit.

I love baby trees! I would love to grow more here, but I don't know much about trees. Do you know anything that might thrive in CA, zone 9? Maybe a few fruit trees, we had a lemon tree once.

I've had a Meyers lemon tree that I bonzaied in this pot for almost 10 years. It's about 3 feet high and 4 feet wide.

The fruit is true to size and taste mildly tart and sweet. But I don't care for the fruit. I force the tree to continually bloom during the warm season to help feed the hummingbirds, various bees, and butterflies. Plus I don't have space for a giant fruit tree in my yard.

Green Ash seeds.

I picked some off of the ground and stuck them in a pot.

If it lives long enough it should be capable of producing fruit. It is not good as a potted plant because it has a tap root. It will need to be planted in the ground in a suitable area that is compatible with the temperatures it can stand.
