Hi all, I have two key limes who`re about 1.5 years old and only about 1.5 to 2 feet tall (I gather that that`s pretty short for their age). They`re still in pretty small pots and while there are no roots showing I need to repot them soon. They just had a flush or leaves so I expect that they`ll be working on roots soon. Will repotting them now cause problems. Am I better off waiting `till spring to repot. Thank you! Ryan
If the tree is root bound, it needs to be transplanted at this time. I have a large collection of citrus varieties, (100+) and have transplanted them in every month of the year, without a problem. It is not the time of year that is important, it is the care given the root system during transplanting. Take care. - Millet (1,217-)
Thanks again for the advice. Oddly enough soon after the repot their upper leaves grew in size. I was a little surprized that they didn't have a lot of roots =/, most of them where around the bottom portion of the pot. Does anyone know how big these guys get before they usually start to flower? I loved the scent of my old calamondin! Thanks, Ryan
