| Any idea when can I expect this to set fruit.
I received this in October 2011 and it was considerably smaller than it is now, it is now 14 inches tall. I feed with Dr. Earth Citrus Tree fertilizer every 2 weeks and water when top inch or two are dry. I have no idea how old it was when I got it as Guerneys description did not say. It gets 4-5 hours of sun per day (when the sun is out of course). I am a newbie when it comes to fruit trees. |

| I replied to your other topic which would apply to this one as well. something else I meant to add to the other post was I wonder if these trees from Gurney's are rooted cuttings. |

| I don't know-wouldn't be surprised if they were. probably never get any fruit :( |
|
| It being a rooted cutting isn't a problem at all. It could probably use more sun (4-5 hours isn't really enough), and its probably going to need to get a bit bigger before you see fruit. |

| Guerneys told me it was 2 years old when shipped in oct 2011 so maybe next year it will fruit.As well as the dwarf meyers lemon. |

| John is right! You can get fruit on cuttings with ease. I make cuttings all the time and will get fruit even on a 4 inch high cutting. In fact, in some cases, I much more prefer cuttings for potted citrus. It will fruit in less time than that if you give it what John suggests. Mike |

| The cuttings though will eventually take on full form and not be dwarf though correct? So they will have to end up in the ground at some point? |
