[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our lilac seems to be doing ok-- but maybe I just have diminshed expectations. :)

I'd like to have a citrus tree of some kind.[/quote]

I'm from California and I bought a citrus and have it indoors in a southwest-facing window.

You will laugh but I bought a kumquat, because they hold their fruit and the little tree looks like a miniature orange tree.  (a real orange tree would have to get really big to have oranges, and they are slow-growers).  My little kumquat in its pot is about thigh-high and has nice branches (new ones this spring, too) and 4 kumquats on it, and I've had it, complete with the kumquats, since August.  (No I don't pick them; I have them for effect).   I have some beautiful green stuff (not really moss; not sure what it is, but it's gorgeous emerald or spring green groundcover) that I bought at Whole Foods and planted at the base.  Let me say that 2 months ago and beyond when there wasn't a lick of beautiful green to be seen, I took solace in my citrus and green stuff![/quote]

I have a lemon tree and a lime tree. I keep them outside all summer and bring them inside in the fall. They suffer a little indoors (some leaves fall off), but bounce right back in the summer. They are about 4 years old and I get about 20 limes and 10 lemons/year.[/quote]
