Had to look the first one up lol. Have you gotten any fruit off of the edible types?

 

[stevebradford]

We do get fruit of the dragon tree, edible.. debatable hah! None yet off the other citrus.

You can make marmalade with the seeds and rind.

CITRON CAVIAR (citrus australasica) for me

once cut this is what it gives, the pulp resembles grains of caviar

I'm trying to get into growing some citrus as well, but have only found the more common cultivars (Eureka, Meyer, Kaffir lime, etc.) at local nurseries. Any other places to get them from and how do you all overwinter yours?

 

[jeff]

I put them in my garage in winter, with good light and a temperature of 10-12°C

Do you supplement with artificial lighting or just what comes in through your garage windows? How often is watering necessary? Thanks!

only south-facing window without artificial lighting.
for watering in winter once a month to have a just damp substrate
