I told myself I'd never buy another citrus tree because I've had such bad luck with them, and I also don't like any plant with thorns.

Well despite reading some disappointing things about them from UF EDIS I bought a little one. So far this one has no thorns and several fruits on it, and I plan on keeping it in a pot which I just moved it into a larger one today.

I read that they grow large but considering this one was in a 5 gallon pot with several fruit on it, I'm hoping some of you that may have one can tell me whether or not I'll be "fruitful" in my decision to keep it potted.

PS, it's interesting how the big box stores get 10 gallon trees and 5 gallon trees all the same height and trunk girth, but charge nearly double for the bigger pot!

It looks like this one escaped being re-potted and was actually larger than all the others in pots twice as big and not root bound!
