My in the forest experiment seems to be working ok. I have Sweet tangerine, Naval, Persian Lime and something else in an oak woods clearing. Went completely underwater for two days during one of the hurricanes last year. They didnt care. Something else interesting, since the deer eat the leaves so often, I dont get leaf miners
Out in my yard I still have some of my older citrus up and kicking. My pommalo and Yuzu lemon are chugging along just fine. About 12 years old. My 9 pound lemon looks like heck but still produces heavily and I have to prune it every two years so I can mow under it. On the other side of the house I have another naval orange and pink lemon who while they arent growing, they both put out tons of blooms each year and leaf miners aside, look fairly healthy. In a pot under my eaves on the east side of my house I have a Centennial Kumquat and that thing produces like a beast. Been there about 3 years, big and bushy, even the leaf miners leave it alone.
On the bad side, my oldest tree which was there when I moved in 13 years ago and I was never able to ID, it is pretty much finished. I just havent gotten around to removing it.
