hehe...you sound just like me last summer. I went on a buying spree and bought 6 different citrus trees, it was christmass all over again! Have fun with them!! :D

oh believe me, I'm definatly having fun. The greenhouse I bought them from DEFINATLY had pests... so I'm trying to take care of that. Lots of big bite marks on my meyers, moldy soot and scale to deal with too. I've yet to seea ny 'bugs' other than the scale and thats very little. easily corrected. Now to correct a few of the nutrient defiencies and I'll be all set. They are very healthy plants. VERY... just need a bit of TLC to be at their best!

Already replanted with some fertilizer... so that should help. also added in my micro nutrients so... we'll see how it acts over the next week or so

Wow, so do you plan to grow them potted or will you be planting them all. I am curious as to how far apart and how much room you would need for them.

I'm in canada. My trees cant be planted outside.so... they'll spend their hopefully long lives in pots

I know for those planted outside... the trees can get quite large. some over 10-20 ft tall and can get 6-8 feet wide. pruning isn't always a good thing but is needed sometimes. With the thorns these trees get, I wouldn't want to be the one on the ladder up 20 feet trying to pick my oranges!

you'll have to ask someone more qualified as to how far to space trees if you plan toplant

Citrus trees planted in the ground can grow pretty big. They should be trimmed to keep up a uniformed size you want them to look more like a tree and less like a bush.

Citrus trees can be planted as close together as you want, I have read some people with a small yard will plant both a lime tree and a lemon tree about 1 ft a part from each other and as they grow they intertwine thus producing a lemon and lime tree in just about the same amount of space as one tree would be needed. Now this combination of two is much better than a grafted tree with lemon on some branches and limes on the other branches such as a 2 in 1 or 3 in one.

If you want to grow a tree to its full potential I would say about 15 ft apart but this would depend on the species if it is darwf or not.

I love that idea. When I get my lemon and lime trees I think I will do this (if I plant them)
