Is it too late this year for repotting? I'm in central florida.
Thanks,

I just repotted a poncirus (common root stock for most citrus) and also defoliated it. It's doing well and has pushed out many new buds and leaves. Removed better than 50% of the roots going from a 25 gallon to a 5 gallon. Removed all old soil. Can't really seem to kill it.
If in doubt hold off - I don't know if it's in a small pot or what. On the other hand we will have at least 3 more months of good weather here so why not.
If so inclined bring it to the Lakeland Club meeting next week and we'll take a look at it with you.
