I want to grow one of these in Minnesota, how can I care for a lemon tree in MN? Will I need to keep it in bright light during the winter months?

[bonsai9723]

You may have luck trying to grow one indoors in a large pot. Otherwise, it's probably too cold in MN.

how did you transport youre plants from phil. to florida?

[bonsai9723]

Hi, It was the dead of a bad wineter, the end of December with ice on the roads. We drove in two cars, hooked by cb radio. When we stoppped for the night, all the plants had to be unladed and brought into the hotel room. Likewise reloaded the next morning. They all did fine.

OK, I have watched all your videos. They are very informative and interesting to watch. At first I was very skeptical about using spagnum moss only. I assumed it would be too acidic for alot of trees. I potted a couple of Azaelas in it this past spring and they are doing great. When I pot up some late this fall(it is 100 in Texas)I am going to try it on other things. I do think you should wear a mask and gloves when using with the moss. Thanks for the great videos...

[bonsai9723]

Sphagum moss is great to work with. I agree on the gloves and mask thing abd have a soecial video in which I talk about those situations. It's really nice to hear about the success you are having. Thanks for writing. Jerry

HI!!! Nice tree! You made this lemon bonsai in 2008, right? Could You please make and post another video now? I'm very interested in how it looks now after a full year!

Thanks

I planted a lemon tree about a year ago and haven't done much to it yet. Is there an update to this video. I would like to see how it is looking today.

Whoa! That's awesome. I'd love to know if your tree fruited and continues to bear lemons.

whats the mos called

[rarefruitgrower]

@bonsai9723 hate to say it but a seedling citrus grown as a bonsai will probably never set fruit even though lemons and limes have to lowest needed node count before they produce fruit it still will probably never get the node count high enough to fruti especially since it is proably trimed all the time for shape. so grafgting will proabaly be the way to go if you want fruit
