Hi everyone,
I'm new here, looking for information.....I tried performing a search, but couldn't find anything. I was hoping somone could help! About 8 years ago, I was given a tree...about 4 feet high, in a pot. The woman said she didn't want it, and was waiting for it to die. Of course, me being the softie that I am, couldn't bear to have a perfectly good tree just be dried up and killed for no good reason, so I took it home. It has since grown to about 8 ft. high, it is definately a citrus variety, and unfortunately since we live in the notheast, it is permanantly relagated to a pot.
I would like to know...
A. What variety citrus it is...it has thorns (some quite large!) and if you crush a leaf in your hand, it smells very "lemony". The leaves are sort of a double leaf, with a small part, then a large leaf at the end.
B. Can it remain in a pot forever? it is so large now, and in the summer I put it outside (which it seems to be the happiest, and grows the best) It really can't get much bigger, as it is hard to get it in and out now..can it be pruned?
C. It has never bloomed..What is the reason for that?
Thanks for any info anyone can give!
