| 1254236 | 2012-01-15 09:36:00 | we had a lemon tree in a pot (quite a big one) for 5 years. Made 1 lemon. just about 1 month ago we moved into the soil, and it is now about twice the size than it was in the pot. so if you do get one, PUT IT IN THE GROUND. pots clearly don't work. | skeptile2 (16539) | ||
| 1254237 | 2012-01-16 00:18:00 | 3514This lemon tree did not live after a this snow storm. I bought it with the lemons on it and it was only about 18 inches tall. Just a baby - too young to die. :crying I have replaced it with another lemon tree which I planted in a sunny spot where it is sheltered from the wind. It appears to be thriving in the new spot. |

| 1254239 | 2012-01-16 01:08:00 | Everything and anything grows in abundance in our garden, fruit trees are loaded, vege garden is over flowing, trees and shrubs are bushy, healthy and always needing to be cut back. Apart from our lemon trees, we are on number 3, its three years old, almost knee high. |

| 1254240 | 2012-01-16 02:42:00 | I can top that, I have an 8 year old Feijoa tree that has grown about 2 inches since I planted it. Everything around it has exploded to epic proportions but not the Feijoa. I'm wondering if it has too much competition. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1254241 | 2012-01-16 02:43:00 | Our Meyer lemon tree must be about 46 years old. For the first 15 or 16 years it received 1lb (454 gms.) fertilizer for each year. Now-a-days it receives 2 litres of urine a day during the winter months (we pee more when it's cold) and you would not believe the crop we get. Tree stands about 12 feet tall and faces north west against the front of the garage. Snow this year knocked a lot off, but up underneath there are still plenty and wifey will be once again selling them at the NB market. Metla, glad you are getting sufficient, we on the other hand have been really knocked about by the liquifaction, what bumper crops of plums, apples and peaches we picked in years past are very sparse this year. Normally supply the City Mission with bags and bags of fruit each year, not this year tho. Lurking. |

| 1254242 | 2012-01-16 04:06:00 | Not sure how old our tree is but 12 years ago it looked dead so I hacked it right back to almost nothing. Now it produces so much fruit a lot goes to waste. We never do anything to it as far as watering or fertiliser is concerned. | plod (107) | ||
| 1254243 | 2012-01-16 05:45:00 | Simple citrus fetriliser 4 times a year. Instructions on the bag. I planted a tree in Auckland and within two years it was nearly 6' tall. | Greg (193) | ||
| 1254244 | 2012-01-16 06:44:00 | Like Metla, we are on our 3rd Lemon Tree. This time we protected it from the wind and it is doing well. Unfortunately, the only place we could put it is where it gets the wind. Can they survive in a windy position once established?. |

Fence one side open the others, yes it gets windy, as windy as the Hutton valley gets. |
