Hi, curious what root stock your finger-lime is grafted to? Any idea if the Asian Citrus Psyllid damages this unique lime tree? Thanks

I never followed thru with purchasing this lime tree. Still on my wish list. Thanks, Dave from DeLand, Fl

I loved this stuff... grows on the top of the soil so needs lots of water and moisture. but then again I have sandy yard. I live in the south, texas and when we had the drought it died.. I believe because of the heat AND the low humidity... it was terrible.. I have been thinking of planting again..it is beautiful I cannot deny that fact.....

Hello,A friend has a desert rose that's about 20 years old and he forgot to move it into the garage during a cold spell. John cut the branches back to firm wood and it grew back beautifully. Les Tonge-martin

The one we received came bare rooted with wet newspapers wrapped around the roots. I can tell you that the dwarf tree we bought last year now has 7 lemons growing. They are about the size of a peach but still green. We hope to be able to use them soon.

Once the active insects encase themselves, that is the "scale" and must be removed by hand using a cotton-tipped applicator dipped in 70% rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol. I have a Meyer lemon that I let the scale get out of hand and spent hours removing them - well worth it, tree recovered well. But a soil application would help with this, as well as a spray on the non-scaled active insects. You will know that you have them from all of the webbing that occurs, usually around the base of the plant. I'm planning on purchasing this product (and a spray) to see if I can keep abreast of these nasty little critters.

I have used a full bottle on my 12 Japanese Privets on 2 different occasions, over the past year. The suckers come up with less frequency, especially mid-trunk (I still have suckers on the bottom, but less after every treatment). My privets are still blooming and growing happily. So - I can only attest the answer to this question for Japanese Privets, and when used as directed - in that case, I see no harm to my trees. And MUCH less work for me.

Its not awkward, its very useful. Hold the handle with left hand and half lemon in your right palm as you hold a ball. After squeezing lemon initially directly with palm & taking out some 50% juice, you can then pierce the pointed end in the middle of lime and then rotate the lime. all remaining juice and citrus material comes out.

I'm not sure how it would work on a fruit-bearing citrus tree. I used this product on a Southern Live Oak and it worked really well. In fact, I bought some more. I apply it about four times a year. Initially the leaves of the oak tree were yellow and I could see light-green "veins" on the leaf, which I believe is an indication of iron deficiency. They turned green a few days after the application of this product. Regarding the surfactant, I am not familiar with it, so can't provide any advice about adding it.

I used miracle grow for citrus plants. Well draining soil. They are doing great! Tripled in size. Have to keep inside over winter so hopefully in the spring they will take off!!

I love my juicer. What a machine! I just brought in some key limes to try before answering your inquiry. I was able to juice them by pressing my palm over the limes. Not perfect like the oranges but works.

Jobe's has "Large Indoor Plant" spikes, #5402, but I like Jennifer's idea of the tablets specifically for citrus. I think an organic fertilizer would usually be safe, but would it have the nutrients that your plants need?

Michael:I bought these last December and they were key limes. When they arrived they were green, but turned yellow within a week or so. They were definitely key limes though. They are much smaller than regular limes and have a very floral smell and taste. I was able to make I believe 3 pies from them (I ordered 5 lbs), but this may vary batch to batch. I can tell you that they did produce an excellent pie, and I am planning to order them again. I was very pleased.I hope this helpd,Vince

yes I went and bought a big pot, the proper soil and some citrus fertilizer! I have 6 huge lemons just about ready to pick on my tree - can't wait to try them!

My trees died in the heat of last summer. I would love to have them. The trees were separate avocado trees. Sorry I can't help you.

I root everything I love with Clonex! Roses, lantanas, wisterias, yellow bells...in other words things I want more than one of. I have never had a failure! One good tip is to keep in the frig and it will last much longer. Good Luck!My Best,Delores. Smithville,Tx

Go to nearest hardware store and copy instructions from "ROOT KILL" product. 2nd option is 2-6lbs twice a year, putting 1/2 lb in toilet and flushing, do this over a several weeks time for tough root problems. Get yourself some plastic containers that can hold a 2lb capacity and keep them on hand, I usually buy 25lbs.. The first time you start doing this treatment go for 4 lbs and see if it works and adjust up or down accordingly. I like the adage " a little over a long time" once it kicks in you do it every year (twice during the first year). Good luck !!
