Hi Rusty,

I bought this tree in about Feb 2007 (along with a few fruits that had grown that season).
Last year it flowered profusely (as did my lemon tree) & hundreds of fruits appeared,,,,, but bit by bit they fell off to leave the biggest/strongest ones. They didn't quite ripen enough though, which I put down to not enough sun last year. The skins were green, but the insides were terrific.

It's in a pot just over 10.5" dia & 9" deep. The last pot was prob an inch narrower.
Ultimately, I want to keep my trees in bucket sized pots.

It seems that 3/4 of the tree is growing some new leaves, whereas about a quarter of it looks dead !

As I say, it seems a waste using summer feed,,,,,, as I need the general/foliage 'growth' rather than fruit growth.

thanks for your comments,,,,,
