Plant them in or close to a chicken coop if you have one.
We had some very sad looking lemons and a kaffir lime and once we built a coop with the trees enclosed there was a noticeable change in growth rate and they greened up amazingly.
Hope that help a tad.

Chickens? Illegal here. Honestly. I wish. I do burn off chicken chit in separate compost pile for Lemons and my low ph bushes and trees. Also use sulpher. Must be potted and moveable. 15-20F for highs here in a few days. LOL. Thank you though. How about soil compositions.? Learning these tropical high drainage things with my heavy wet native materials.

WOW! Illegal to have chickens, the world has truly gone mad!!!
As far as soil, they’re just in a heavy clay bed broken up with some coots style mix and mulched with old chicken bedding and poop.
Would most likely work well in pots and I plan on putting 4 or 5 in large half barrels for the deck.
We get pretty cold winters where I am so we usually just wait until the last frost to prune the minor damaged tips, the plants don’t seem to mind either.
Plant fleece would probably help reduce frost damage too.

I unfortunately cannot chance a lemon outdoors. My long and twisted, impulse driven growing knowledge and pursuits, force indoor wintering and bonsai or topiary topping to healthily maintain. Soil being my biggest issue. Have a good mix now. Way lighter than yours. But still too wet. Not the same issues here. Open to any further inut. Please. You grow them. I'm defying nature.

And yes. Illegal. City ordinance. I can breed hundreds of birds and parrots though. WTF???

I struck a clone from the local Chinese takeaway about 10 years ago but it didn't start flowering until 4/5 years ago, it flowers when its frosty feckin freezing December/January time and keeps it flowers until April/May.

I found this variegated thorn foliage plant in the desert and took a cut that somehow survived in a modelo can ; it still hasn’t grown much but I got roots and potted it a couple months later!

Ur forest flame looks killer. Reminds me of this plant. I have no clue what it is I’ll take a pic in the morning. It was growing similar way kind of

Anyone have any experience with lemon trees. Currently have 2 from seed here. And nursing the one I gave the neighbor as needed. Almost 18 months. I'll get pictures. One is over 4'. The other is a 16" bush. Know nothing and am in MI. Bright and healthy. Any hints or tips. Looking forward to removing marbles this year to maybe get a lemon the following year.

Thanks all.
