House plants.

I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze. I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things. And people think me odd. Then ODD I am!!!

Meg,

If grown in container as houseplant, You can control the height. Citruses hardly require any pruning. If you do prune, do it at the top part.

Here's a link to Growing Citrus As Houseplant.

Last time I checked, citruses in our area were marked from $22.00-$25.00; and about $17.50 when on sale.

Love is the essence of life.

Meg, it's totally possible to do, and the blossoms smell great in the house.

You tempt me Meg you really do. I love mandain oranges.

Papito, that was some great info, thanks!! I didn't know what the clementines would be like, but they are apparently very good. I did see fruit on some of these trees earlier this year, when they were still full price. The fruit was still green at the time.. but it was there. Hopefully, I'll see some in the next year. It's currently in the 5 gallon container they sold it to me in.. should I transplant it to a larger pot? I know I read somewhere that I should get a saucer for underneath, and put some gravel in it to rest the planter on.. so the water isn't right on it.

I'm so glad I got this tree. What a deal for $10!

Meg
