How are everyones looking this year?  My meyer lemon is suffering from iron or magnesium defeciency, i think.  I gave it someFerti-Lome Chelated Liquid Iron and Other Micro Nutrients -I have  a small tree with about 30 lemons on it.  Its in a pot but plan on planting it in the ground in February.My blood orange tree didn't produce this year and my satsuma tree produced very late.  So they are still small and green. 4951

Kumquats and Tangerines suffered from too much rain followed by not enough.Lemons are smaller and leaves have a decidedly yellowish hue due to the feast or famine water conditions also. but there quite a few lemons and sunquates for some reason seem to be doing better overall. 4951

Just curious, what do you do with that much fruit? We planted a mandarin orange tree in a pot, but they said to wait a couple of years to let it produce fruit. 4951

Grapefruits are finally producing for me and they are massive!
 
For 3 years that tree hasn't done a thing.
 
My meyer lemon has hundreds on it.  Not the 600+ I normally get off that tree.  But I would guess about 300 give or take.  We cut it back a lot this year, so I knew we would have less.
 
They are all on the way to being yellow.  They are not the size of large oranges this year.  Our weather was so weird, it has been hard for all citrus in our area.  The early flooding in the spring caused a lot a lot of trees to lose all their blooms.  
 
Mine are the size of large lemons right now.  I have never had a crop this small.  But I am grateful to have any.
@Fallon: So many TWSS's in here to count. 4951

@Fallon: Glad to hear it didn't produce for three years but then did.  We planted one maybe two years ago and it looks like a stick.  No leaves, nothing.  It will grow new branches though, but no leaves.  Literally looks like a stick was shoved in the ground.  I guess there is hope for it...

@yankeejessica, yes!  It has been a sad pitiful tree.  For 3 years, we have only gotten 3 tiny grapefruit, not even as big as my lemons usually are.  Well this year, the tree has lost its mind!  I only have 6, but they are huge.  ( I am scared of what @WskyTngoFxrt will do this!)  @Annie, I made lemoncello last year.  I have to say, I just don't like it.  I have some, you are welcome to.  Everyone says this is what it should taste like, but I am not a fan.  And let me tell you, it is a pita to make too!  So many days it has to sit in the dark, then add more stuff.  Then back to the dark.  If I work like that on something I want it to taste like a cake.  Or cookies.  lol
 
@Fallon:
 
Woohoo! I can't believe that you don't love it. Before you give it up for adoption, you might want to consider trying the Lemoncello tirramissu (sp) on Epicurious.com. Super delish! 4951
