yea Jason - mine haven't even flowered yet!?...(but I am happy about that cos the Imperials get sunburnt trying to ripen thru summer)

They are late this year and the only one of my citrus that hasn't flowered yet...

A lot of mine aren't going to flower this season, had too big of a crop last year so it's resting time

Ah that's interesting Jason - mine had a massive crop last season too....maybe they are having a rest too :)
I didn't know citrus did this - and now u mention it my lemon, lime and tangello are also much lighter this year (had a bumper citrus crop there too) Did some renovation pruning in winter too.
