Mijo,
You plant looks good. It must be a Meyer's Lemon by the looks of things. Meyer's grows very quickly. I've had success with Navel Orange, Pink Grapefruit, Jamaican Ugly fruit (cross between a grapefruit and a tangerine, Honey Tangerine, Meyer's Lemon, Clementines. I've just started Pomello grapefruit seeds from China. I'm looking forward to seeing if they will germinate. Some of my plants are now 3 years old and I've trained them as standards rather than the usual bushy shape.

Thanks Joydie1!
it really grew and grow very fast....I have heard that usually Citrus stop growing when they are some 10cm tall.....for a year, and start that again.....
but this one haven`t done it.....
Pomelo has beautifull flower......
oh......bushy shape....I`m sure that your Citrus look really nice!
You tree looks good, I just planted some red gratefruit seeds and they came up and are about an inch tall!!
Thanke nu:)
good luck with them!
I`d like to see your Citrus too....
Mitjo,
Thanks, I enjoy the fragrance of the leaves. I just wish I could find some Kaffir Lime seeds. I would love to use the leaves in Asian cooking.
Babs,
Good luck with your red grapefruit. Mine are now going into their 4th year. Repot them up slowly. Another thing you need to do when they outgrow the first 3" pot is to cut the tap root back to encourage lateral branching of the roots. The red grapefruit has wonderfully fragrant leaves...well all citrus do for that matter. You can tell what citrus type they are by the smell of the leaves-lemon smells like lemon etc.
Jodie1 where have you been??????
and can you really tell by the smell of the leaves?
hmm....if I remember right those my citrus leafs dont smell at all......but I must to check.
Hi CC,
just getting back again..slowly, ever so slowly getting back into the swing of things. long, long story. My Rottweiler pup was killed my a car and a couple of days later my Godfather passed away. Just coming out of a terrible funk. Still suffering with my knees.
Mitjo,
Rub the leaves with your fingers and you can tell which ones they are...try it.
OK:)
