i'd recommend black plastic pots. terra cotta is too much breathability for citrus in cooler climates. its ok for climates that have mild/warm winters.

Well, if you use a good porous soilless mix, your roots will breathe anyway.

I am finding plastic is much better for my Lemon Meyers thanks to John's suggestion.

Great thank you. Plastic is easier to carry too.

I find that all my citrus except a Kumquat in clay pots have very shallow root system. Now I am gradually repoting them into black plastic pot. I will see how it goes.
