Is this seed grown, or from a cutting? I assume it's not grafted since it is so small. Also, is this a regular meyer lemon or a dwarf?

I'm not sure but I think it's a dwarf. Mine is about a foot tall. Also, when I have seeds from a lemon, I put them in dirt and they are growing nicely.

No!! Mine came much like you see in the picture but without the fruit! At this time, going into its second year, it has 4 slightly under ripe lemons on it. We are thrilled with this plant. It comes VERY well packaged and protected to prevent limbs from breaking! Would make an excellent gift.

I have had 0 avocados ..the tree is planted in my backyard..It is alive but with the temperature hitting 15 ..not sure it will survive..extremely cold for Florida( I live in Panama city Beach)..it is covered and I am hopeful.It did grow much last summer and has always seemed a little frail..I just thought it was because it was a dwarf .My Lime tree did not produce any limes last year and it has always in the past..It could be a deficiency, in my soil not the problem of the tree.In other words ...human error...However,if the avocados shown in the picture had grown on my tree it would have broken the branches..Good luck I have had 0 avocados ..the tree is planted in my backyard..It is alive but with the temperature hitting 15 ..not sure it will survive..extremely cold for Florida( I live in Panama city Beach)..it is covered and I am hopeful.It did grow much last summer and has always seemed a little frail..I just thought it was because it was a dwarf .My Lime tree did not produce any limes last year and it has always in the past..It could be a deficiency, in my soil not the problem of the tree.In other words ...human error...However,if the avocados shown in the picture had grown on my tree it would have... » Read More I have had 0 avocados ..the tree is planted in my backyard..It is alive but with the temperature hitting 15 ..not sure it will survive..extremely cold for Florida( I live in Panama city Beach)..it is covered and I am hopeful.It did grow much last summer and has always seemed a little frail..I just thought it was because it was a dwarf .My Lime tree did not produce any limes last year and it has always in the past..It could be a deficiency, in my soil not the problem of the tree.In other words ...human error...However,if the avocados shown in the picture had grown on my tree it would have broken the branches..Good luck « Show Less

when I got it,it was small but grew fast,last year I planted mine in the ground to soon.It was only 2 ft high,when frost hit I thought it was dead, but when this spring hit, it came back to life.so I would suggest to keep it in a pot till it grows at lest 4 ft tall or more that's all I can help with.sorry I'm hoping mine will shoot up this year if not I will buy another one.

well, my tree only lasted 2months and died-I did everything right, no clue why it died. I will be purchasing another one because the one I got my Dad for Christmas already has 6 lemons on it. All I know is my next tree purchase will be an Improved Meyer Lemon-it must be easier to grow. The day after I repotted my lemon tree the leaves all fell off one by one until it was bare-now its a crispy critter. Sad! Hope this helps your decision!

I'm in WV, planted about 2-3 weeks ago, mine are about 6 -7 inches and every seed came up. Also seed from last years throw-away's came up. This is the only seed I have planted for 4 years now and have never had a dud. Am planning a second planting this weekend. They are crispy and tender, unlike any other except the Persian variety.

I'm not sure I could be much help unfortunately mine died just after I got it but i think you can set it up in a nice warm environment so it doesn't get too cold you should be fine.. now transplanting it I wouldn't think you would be to do it immediately... I don't know the growth rate on this particular species I think you'd be fine until spring...

They never grew! Waste of your money buying seeds. Go to a nursery, and get the plants. They are kinda expensive, however the spread nicely and are very tolerant... Doing that next year.. No more seeds...

It was small, not 4"! I have a green thumb, but this poor plant must've been diseased, or an inferior strain, as it died very quickly. Bamboo should be easy to grow and I couldn't save it;-(

Not sure. I got mine in Oct. So far it is doing well, had a lot of blooms but not seeing any lemons yet. It has lost a few leaves but since I received it after it had gotten cold and it hasn't been on my deck yet, I think it's doing very well. I didn't really expect to get lemons this year but I hope to get some after a summer on the deck.

I don't know. What this dealer sold me was not the species advertised. It turned out to be a dwarf banana that only gets about 3 feet tall.

Our Little Cado did not grow at all. It is not doing anything. We have not have any fruit from it. It was very expensive. We paid I think $75.00 for it plus shipping, and then we found a dwarf avocado at Home depot for $18.00 which is doing better than this Little Cado.

Yes.Mine came in a long plastic tube which would not stand up on its own. All the dirt had come out during shipping,so I transplanted it right away into a 5 gallon pot with moisture control potting mix and a couple handfuls of azomite(minerals) and bio-char. It perked right up. It is growing and I anticipate finding a 15-20 gallon pot to transplant it again.

I bought one last year and it has hardly grown from when I got it. In fact I was worried it was going to die..... But it is still green, but literally is only an inch tall. I have no idea how slow growing it is, but I am hopeful it will be bigger next year

It grows slow. Google it for some images and you will see a variety. Mine go dormant in the winter. Save any clipping for new plants. Google how to propagate (very easy).

I have purchased this item and they doesn't grow :( It seems that it is my mistake with growing :( But.. for me this tree can be as usual tree's in middle growth like a lemon tree. They need just warm place and no sun.

When I got it it was less than a foot long. It is like a vine. I planted it at my Mom and Dad's house and it is at least 4 or 5 feet long and is growing off shoots. It should be on a trellis or fence since it will grow all over it. No blooms yet since I planted it later in the summer. Hopefully it will bloom next year.
