Wanna try some lemon tree growing. My grandma had a good sized orange
tree out in her backyard. Do remember it had alot of surface runners,
but not as bad as pecan trees. 3 lemon trees growing from seed now in a
planter.


I've never heard of citrus trees having runners. Maybe seedlings? Unless
you have a well sheltered, warm spot in your garden, lemons are container
plants here in Austin.

Surface runners are roots that travel very near the ground surface. And may
show themselves above the ground. Pecan trees are probably the worst I've
seen in S. Central TX.
