It's not like kids being put into shoes that are way too many sizes larger. My sense of root mass size to plant size and height is not offended. A pot size too big is far less harmful (if at all) than the "all roots in a beehive bun and no soil" situation with container-grown citrus. <br />I just left the tropics of Southern California, with a too-long vacation in Maui [we are haoles, never to be accepted as locals, even after 5 years] so I had no trouble growing citrus until now, as we moved to the central coastal area of Oregon (zone 8b according to the USDA). I have put too few minutes into restoring a 10x8x7high poly-covered hoop house on our property, with hopes of getting some decent dwarf citrus to live there. I really miss the year-round morning OJ fresh-squozen from the Valencias we had! Have you done any posts about greenhouse citrus?Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15483102573957001593noreply@blogger.com
