Lemonade Tree (Grafted)

Comments: -

A sweet lemon sounded delicious, and on tasting, they really are! Very refreshing.  Tough little tree - I accidently knocked half its' roots off when planting; it got a bit sick but has made a full recovery.  (It didn't even drop the 3 young fruit it was carrying at the time, and they grew beautifully.)  Having second crop maturing now, 31 good size fruit.

Lemonade Tree

Comments: -

Another great tree.  Fruits over a long period, so I always have fruits ripening at different times.  Only problem though is the later ones are a magnet for fruit flys......so I usually cover the whole tree.

Lemonade Tree ^7/10

Comments: -

This tree was hit the hardest by every citrus pest - galls, aphids, sooty mould, bronze orange bug - and just didnt get going well. So it was pulled up and replaced with a Freemont mandarin, a much tougher and stronger plant and an amazing fruit.

----------

Always loved them as a kid, so throught would give it a try.

Is quite prone to attacks by grasshoppers (though not as much as lemon propper), so have to keep on top of them if I want to have it lush and green like my lime trees.

Growing very well so far though.

Update: 09-Dec-2011: Produced a lot of flowers but only got one fruit out of them. Its still not mature enough to be harvested. Time will tell if i finally get to taste a lemonade or not. New pic attached.

Never tasted lemonade fruit before. But i believe it tastes like sweet lime. Have a few tiny little fruits on it at the moment. Lets see how many mature ones i get.

Dwarf Lemonade (Grafted) ^4/10

Comments: -

I like lemonade fruit as it has a more sweet flesh than lemons in general and makes a good refreshing drink when cold. Many years ago I remember purchasing this fruit at a selected fruit and vegie shop at Clayfield in Qld. I have never seen this fruit anywhere else except at Fruit World in NSW.

Question:

I like to know why the flowers are not staying on. I've provided the plant with correct fertlizer, it's in a pot but I'm contemplating placing in the ground with real soil but not sure when to do this.

Will I need to place some type of support in the ground. i.e. a stick to help the plant support itself?
