Dwarf Avocado - Lamb Hass (A) (Grafted) ^9/10

Comments: -

Lamb Hass is a very productive & problem free tree. The fruit taste similar to Hass but are usually a little softer. The tree is quite compact for an avocado and I am growing mine in a 160L pot. This variety pollinates well on its own and is resistant to sunburn.

The tree is also much more upright compared to The spreading nature of a regular Hass tree.

Dwarf Lemon - Meyer (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: - Has delicious fruit - was here when we moved in. I've tried an experiment wtih the size of the tree and sectioned it off into quarters. I pruned one quarter almost skeletonised, one pruned heavily, one lightly and one not at all. It's worked really well - instead of having a glut of lemons every Winter, we now have a manageable crop every three months. Now, we have full grown lemons storing on the three, half grown lemons, blossom and foliage growth. Going to try on other citrus trees to see if it's successful.

Dwarf Lemon - Meyer (Grafted) ^9/10

Comments: -

Going great guns! Purchased about April 2015. 

I water almost daily depending on weather and fertlise about every 6 to 8 weeks. When fruiting is over I will be repotting into a 75 litre planter bag as I have with all other citrus and blueberries. 

Seems to be going well as it has about 12-14 fruit on it but it could do with some more room and better quality medium that provides better drainage. I've found that a good mix of pine bark, coir peat and perlite works wonders so the lemon will be getting that too when fruiting is finished as well as a prune.

Dwarf Lemon - Eureka (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: -

Planted in November 2015.  Too young to review.

It's currently in full sun. I water almost daily depending on weather. I planted in a 75 litre planter bag with a BIG bottom layer of course grade pine bark then kind of equal amounts of good quality potty mix, coir peat, perlite and a shovel of organic pellets mixed through. A really good layer of small pine bark on top.
