  Our meyer lemon tree was infested with aphids (brought by ants, I think). We bought a package of live ladybugs and let them feast! Seemed to work pretty well.

  I’m growing my lemon plant from seeds that were in a lemon that I bought at the grocery store.

  Super glad you don't have to deal with citrus leafminer. I've been battling them for a bit on my new growth. I've got Meyer Lemon, Australian Green Finger Limes, Pummelos, Ruby Red Grapefruit, Honeybell Tangelo, and a Ponkan Tangerine.

  Living in southeast Alaska I never thought someone could get a fruit tree like an orange tree to grow. I was house sitting for a friend years ago, walked in their door and there was this gorgeous orange tree that had a couple not quite ripe oranges. Oh my word I was so surprised. I loved watching the fruit change colour, I bet they were amazing. <br>That started my dream of possibly growing my own! &nbsp;I love your videos!

  I’ve managed to grow grapefruit and lemons from seeds and I’ve just transplanted them into bigger pots this week! Such perfect timing 🌸🌸🌸

  I’ve had my orange “tree” for 3 years and only just have my first real orange that has made it to very nearly ripe stage. Its leaves are so sparse it looks a little like Charlie Brown’s Christmas tree with the orange bending the poor little dude right over. 😂 <br>I love it tho and I’m going savour that one orange when it’s time. 🧡

  There is really nothing that rivals the fragrance of citrus blossoms. &nbsp;The tiny trees they sell in garden centers are so tempting because of it. &nbsp;But in this area, it is a lot of work to bring them inside for the Winter. &nbsp;It really has to be a labor of love.

  I used &nbsp;Neem oil in a spray bottle for leaves, and I make my own Colloidal Silver Water for pennies on a dollar. I spray some of both a couple of times per month. This keeps fungus , mold and Nematodes at bay. Insects or worms leaf miner are killed with the Neem oil spray.<br>It&apos;s a great preventative , instead of waiting until you see something , THEN trying to get rid of the pesty bug or mold or fungus.
