I have been growing a Myer's for several years in SETX, but was told I could grow a Ponderosa lemon. I haven't tried it yet, but I plan to.

Meyers and ponderosa both do well in SE Texas. Meyers grows on its own roots. Both are hybrids and not true lemons. Meyers is suppose to be slightly sweeter than other lemons.

We grow both the Meyers and the ponderosa at the botanical gardens so I see no reason why they wouldn't grow for you in SETX

I have grown 'sunquat' for years and really like it. It's a vigorous hybrid of lemon and kumquat that is a heavy producer and is more cold hardy than regular lemons. The kumquat genes induce it to quit growing in cool temps. The peel is edible also.

Thanks, sabalmat_dallas. I've never heard of a sunquat before and I will definitely be checking it out!
