Citrus Questions...

19 years ago

Hi, I have some questions on some citrus plants that I have and am planing to buy. I have a Tangerine tree(Ponkan), Orange (Navel- bush type), and a meyers lemon, and they are growing pretty well because my tangerine tree has many fruit, but my Navel orange isnt growing at all it grew new leaves but it doesnt start growing more bushier.

Since i bought the bush type of navel orange, is it because the bush kind grows slower? last time it starting blooming and i pinched out the flowers because i thought it should have more growth than to produce fruit. what do you think i should do to help it grow bigger i am thinking of buying an orange tree not a bush, what kind do you reccomend i would like an orange with a very orange skin, soft peel, and sweet juice.

like i said i also have a meyers lemon tree, and i have some questions on it.

-are meyers naturally dwarf? because i heard there are dwarf kinds but are all like that?

-is the meyer lemon tree really a tree because the one i have has a small trunk not as long as my tangerine tree, will it grow a long trunk because it has about 2 sections of stems growing near the bottom trunk.

-if my meyers lemon tree isnt a dwarf what is its original size height? will it be very big? and can i grow it inside my home or should i buy a dward kind to have inside my home and just plant the other in my garden outside?

sorry for all the questions but i do appreciate you answering and helping me with these question that i have

Thanks you so much.
