I have a lime tree in the backyard and it looks like a bumper crop this year.

Pulled a few satsumas (maybe tangerine) already. We moved into a place with a few fruit trees. I plante an orange tree last year for my sons birth and that thing is moving quick. I would be suprised if it doesnt fruit in 2014.

Usually takes 3 years sometimes 4-5. If they start blossomin in the second year pull them off. It can stress them out too much at a young age. They need thier energy.

apparently i suck at growing citrus. I've planted 4 satsuma trees over 2 years and none of them survived.

After getting at least 250 lemons last year, my tree is loaded with flowers again right now. The bees are doing their thing and the smell......................utterly fabulous.

My kumquat tree is only 2 years old and started producing a crap load of fruit about 3 months ago and still is. Is that normal?
