Citrus in South Florida


Citrus doesn't fare so well in South Florida! What you see here is a 'Meyer' Lemon and an 'Ortanique' tangelo. I planted them four or five years ago, still no fruit and just a general lack of vigor! So today I dug them up. I potted them in some amazing potting soil, Fafard 3B to be exact. Hopefully, they fare better with lots of extra care because their not gonna make it in the ground. In fact the last three photos are of some sort of fungi that was smothering the root system of the 'Meyer' lemon. We'll see if re-potting it helps!
