Title: growing Femminello Siracusano 2KR lemon in S. Calif?
Post by: jbclem on April 15, 2019, 04:57:25 AM

Is anyone growing Femminello Siracusano 2KR lemon in the Los Angeles area.  I ask because I've read that it can't tolerate dry weather and wind.  And we are nothing if not dry in these parts, not to mention the yearly bouts of strong SantaAna winds.
