Hello, I also started some lemon seeds. I got the idea while slicing lemon for some coronas {funny how ideas happen when you drink} They are now 3 inches tall, only lost one out of six.
They are growing fast, this will be nice experiment to see how they do. I have read that you have to take the fruit off before they get to big or it will break the branches.

Here's one of those lemons one year later. It seems that this lemon, that was potted in the biggest pot has grown the most.

The lemon which was in the white pot had too much fine sand in the soil and it did not drain too well so it died.
The two lemons in that plastic pot are allso doing fine.

Now I would need advice on when to repot this tree, and how much to cut off the roots. It's mid winter now, and I am growing that lemonon at my window.
