is it a crossed hybrid?

Citrus trees can be placed in the dark over winter if the temperatures are kept low.  The kings of Europe often put their citrus trees in the basement for winter storage.  However, your trees will do better in a warm and good lighted location.

SC400 your trees are always amazing.  You should write a book.

I like New Zealand Lemonade best just before it becomes fully mature.  While the peel still has a little green to it.

I  agree with Galatians, that the problem is a nutrient deficiency.  The leaves look quite pale, maybe potassium and nitrogen. My bet the problem should correct itself with a good general fertilizing.

I have a 8 year old inground Dekopon tree grafted on C35 and it is only 6 feet tall.   C35  rootstock is a cross of Ruby orange X Webber Fawcett trifoliate orange.

The larger the tree the better it is able to protect it self. However, the smaller the tree the easier it is to give the tree protection against an unusual harsh cold spell.   If it was me I would give it a try.  However, have protection ready.  See if you can still find the larger old fashion Christmas lights.  They put out a lot of heat.  This planting would make a excellent long term educational topic for this forum, as you print your growing challenges and successes.  The best to you and your trees.

I bought it on line.  However, I'm sure there must be some dealer in Denver.

We are sorry for the spam someone has been applying on our forum.  They could use your prayers to straighten our their life.

I used to have a Prague grafted on FD.   It was planted in the ground., I got it from Laszz   It fruited very well.  The only problem is that the fruit is terrible.  After  a couple years Ii finally removed the tree and planted a red grapefruit that I purchased from Hershell (Madison Nursery).

Ilya111 sounds interesting   I have never heard of that variety.  Today there are so many citrus hybrids it is hard to keep up with them..
