    Great deal!

  • 8 years ago

    I didn't even know target sold citrus trees! You got a great deal for $18

  • 8 years ago

    Is it there yet? ;)

  • 8 years ago

    I should've been shopping for my trees from Target. They are selling 2 Meyer trees each in 2.5" pots for $13! And they have a special code where you get a $10 gift card when you spend $50 on them. That is one easy gift card!

    Thanks for finding this. Want to know more about the seller. Perhaps it's too good of a deal?

    Thelisting must be recent, because I have searched keyword 'lemon' before, and didn't see that. Ooh, now I'm gonna go check keyword kumquat...

    Its supposed to be here tomorrow, coming in from Alabama. Ill put some pics up when I get a chance.

  • 8 years ago

    Anyone have any idea if they are grafted or are rooted cuttings?

  • 8 years ago

    It will be interesting for sure to see what you get from Cottage Gardens. I purchased from them thru QVC and was unhappy with the plants received.


  • 8 years ago

    That is a such a great price for the variegated type too. Even if it isn't as productive, you got it for half the price of most other citrus trees! It's too bad, wish they sold some lime trees too

  • 8 years ago

    Looks nice for the price. I hope it does well for you.


  • 8 years ago

    That's a wonderful looking tree! I may fight one jumping into my cart ;)

  • 8 years ago

    They always win :)))

  • 8 years ago

    Thanks so much for the update and pics. I was wondering if it was grafted, so I'm glad you mentioned it.

    Looks like a nice plant! After you wipe the suspected scale, you might also spray, and quarantine it from your other plants for a few weeks.

    Alrighty, what can you do when there is free shipping on orders over $35?! I almost put up a fight but one jumped into my cart along with a pig Halloween costume for my little piggy pitbull Hadley ( I had to get to $35 somehow...) I have wanted a variegated lemon for a long time but it has always been out ranked by other wishlist trees, well at $17.84 it finally finds its way into my collection. Thank you Jay for the heads up and the report/pic of the tree once you got it. I hope mine looks as good as yours. ETA of 10/11.

    How large do you guys think it'll grow until it fruits? Since it is not a grafted tree

  • 8 years ago

    Kvetch, even if its a rooted cutting I assume it was taken off a mature tree so I would imagine with proper care it would fruit within the next year. Since it's 2ft-ish tall I would let it carry 1-2 fruits its first one or two fruiting years until it was good sized. But that's about the size of most of my trees I get so not much different than normal for me. I am even ok with it getting larger than normal so I have more potential for lemons. Are you tempted to get one? ;)

  • 8 years ago

    The tree can afford one fruit to ripen with that amount of foliage.

  • 8 years ago

    I'm very tempted..I just bought a window box of mums for $13 and its not like they're going to give me lemons next year..

  • 8 years ago

    Hahaha, That's very true.

  • 8 years ago

    Ill be keeping an eye on this nursery next year. Hopefully they'll have some different varieties for sale. You cant beat free shipping, the shipping costs from other sellers is completely ridiculous.

  • 8 years ago

    Same here jaydub, if they carry a lime or some type of mandarin/orange then I'm jumping on that free shipping!

    I need to hold off on getting more trees Sammers, I don't even have enough mix to repot everything! Lol

  • 8 years ago

    Nice tree Jaydub, variegated trees are awesome. I love the look of the leaves and the striped fruit is so cool. Here’s mine.

    So beautiful Evan. I love the variegated varieties too. I have the pink lemon but mine is still small. Lots of new growth again. Also variegated mineola on standard root stock and if Harris get cleared for shipping out of state, a variegated mineola on dwarfing root stock coming next spring. Next week a centenial kumquat and variegated calamondin. I would love to find other variegated citrus but unfortunately not that common to find. I saw a variegated cara and varigated valencia once. Variegated sour orange too.

  • 8 years ago

    I like variegated varieties also. A varigated cara, i bet it was beautiful!

  • 8 years ago

    My local nursery had var.meyers. Not at all tempting for me, fortunately. I would go for a pink lemon, tho. Resist!

  • 8 years ago

    There is a variegated Meyer????? For real?

  • 8 years ago

    My thoughts exactly Susanne! I'm about to look up "variegated Meyer"

  • 8 years ago
    last modified: 8 years ago

    Mmmmmm no.....as far as I know there is no such thing as a variegated Meyer lemon. Don’t be fooled by your Nursery, they’re merely selling variegated eureka lemon trees.

    Evan

  • 8 years ago

    that was the result of my search too. I think the taste of a meyer and eureka (pink) is very difference?

  • 8 years ago

    What color are the blossoms on the var.eureka?

  • 8 years ago

    This color...



    Evan

  • 8 years ago

    Beautiful blooms evan! I cant wait till mine blooms.

  • 8 years ago

    I have had a tough time with the variegated eureka I have had for the past 2 years or so. It was fine until last fall when I brought it inside and it dropped most of its leaves. It has not dropped or added a single leaf since then.

    I am a bit nervous of the condition of my tree once it arrives. It shipped out 10/3/17 and will arrive 10/10/17, 7-8 days in a dark box sounds like that poor trees going to be in rough shape. What is the longest anyone's trees have been in transit for?
