Hill5422 Do you know what type of citrus? In 86 I planted two grapefruit seed and the trees don't bloom. I don't care about the blooms but they become so rootbound that I have to remove them and whack the roots off and add new soil to keep them in a pot. They are 7 feet tall, with pruning and almost unmanagable now. As well as horrible thorns. I did not learn early on to nip off the thorns. Do you have to repot? If I don't , the leaves shed and I am afraid the plant police will get me.... : ))
