See: http://www.powen.freeserve.co.uk/fruit/Citrus.htm and http://www.growingcitrus.co.uk/ However http://www.easyfruit.co.uk/ seems to have disappeared - a Stelios moment perhaps? The descriptions are a bit daunting - water too much or too little and you have problems. This suggests that my "Grow, damn you" approach may not work too well :-) I can't see an obvious graft on mine - but there is a point which could be a graft or just where the growth has been cut back to a side shoot. Guess it will have to live in the sun lounge over the winter. Cheers Dave R I am not sure if mine have grafts either. Are citrus plants grafted or not? Some posts here seem to suggest they are (like the orange that grew a lemon) but other posts seem to contradict this. I looked at a grapefruit in the garden centre and compared it with the leaves growing on mine and the leaves seem the same. The leaves are almost like two leaves in one: a figure 8 shape if you like. There is a small leaf at the stem end out of which grows a much bigger leaf. So I am hoping the leaves are of the same variety, which would imply no grafting. If I am lucky enough to get fruit, may be then I will find out. |
