I would separate them if you can do that safely. I'd be afraid that one plant grows stronger and the other dies off eventually.

Our teacher at the extension office said if you wanted a fruit cocktail that it was better to plant the trees close togther as opposed to grafting the dif fruits on one trunk. My Meyer and my limequat are in pots and have done well there for 2 years. If you have a large enuff container, keep them together and give us updates.
Or not.

Okay, one for leaving them together and one against. Anyone else have any thoughts? I'm leaning towards leaving them alone, since they seem to be doing fine, so far. But I'm interested in hearing what experiences others might have had.

Thanks!

This is just an opinion, but I think you run the risk of damaging roots if you separate them. They've probably been in the same container all their lives, with roots entwined. Separating them could be traumatic!
(see? this is me crying when they kill the female monster Rodan (Rodanetta?) and Mr. Rodan (Rodan-san?) throws himself into the fire in anguish for losing his mate. Some things should not be separated.)

But I like the idea of adding a couple more large pots with other citrus and grouping them together around the Fruit Salad.

Okay, Kate. You win. I will name the Meyer Lemon Rodan and the Limequat Mrs. Rodan, and I will never separate them, even if they turn into monsters! (You are a hopeless sap, you know that?)

Long live the Monsters!

My Myers lemon is in the ground and is a monster bush/shrub/tree .
Nothing wrong with leaving your citrus in pots as long as you are satisfied with smaller trees and a smaller yield of fruits as compared with in ground citrus .
Are they in pots due to a land space restriction ?
They are quite beautiful in pots and are much under used for landscaping .

you gals are too funny ;-)
and I am sure Mr. and Mrs. Rodan will do fine.... I just bought a croton 'Tamara' well, there where 5 in the pot, so I did my thing and separated them. yes, the roots where all bunched up, but with all the rain we are getting they do just fine.

Gatormom, I really wanted potted citrus for my patio and don't have a space in the yard that I want to devote to a real citrus tree, per se. But my question was more of whether I should leave the two different types together in the same pot, as a "fruit salad," or whether I should go ahead and separate them while they are still smallish. I'm thinking I'm leaving them together. If I ever decide to put them in the ground, I'll probably leave them together for that, as well.

Thanks for all the tips, folks! Appreciate it! Mr. & Mrs. Rodan will be together until death do them part!
