It bloomed like crazy and was covered with tiny lemons, but my kids picked most of the lemons off. There are a few still left at the top of the tree that are plumping up slowly, and the tree has rebounded by putting out new flowers and leaves, so we might get a few more lemons.<br /><br />I haven't repotted it from its gallon-sized container yet, as I'm pregnant and didn't want to add to the burden of hauling it back and forth during the cold days... I'll see how it does this year and give it a bigger (5-gal) pot this coming winter/spring.<br /><br />Other citrus seems to do well in our neighborhood, from what I've seen over the past several years. Someone up the street has some form of orange or grapefruit tree in the ground, and it produces like crazy every year.Mary Lintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442420958964677458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882190149677701048.post-22302622241903640952014-05-17T19:29:38.420-07:002014-05-17T19:29:38.420-07:00The Rain Lilies are so pretty!

Does it produce well for you? I'm concerned any citrus here in Central Texas may be more trouble than it is worth. But maybe it is productive and delicious enough to warrant bringing into the house and tending to over the winters.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01215678221173950533noreply@blogger.com
