- I bought a "citrus trio" from a mail order company, and,
- unfortunately, the instructions accompanying the delivered trees were
- limited.
-
- The trio consisted of a lime, organge and lemon tree. I kept the
- orange and gave the other two away. All are doing fine, but I'm
- curious about a couple of items related to the orange tree:
-
- How big do indoor dwarfs typically get? (this is an edible fruit type
- of unknown name. 6" high when I got it; about 18" 6 months later)
-
- It is in a 6" pot, as recommended, but there is no mention of moving
- it to a larger pot at some time in the future. Is there a size at
- which this should be done?
-
- Any idea how many years until fruit bearing? Any other tips for
- growing?
-
- I got these trees out of curiosity, but my interest was greatly
- heightened upon hearing the results of a friend's indoor dwarf lemon
- tree.
-
- All comments appreciated.
