Frequently asked questions
Grafted Green Lime Tree
Do I need another lime tree?
Many citrus can crop as a single tree. Flowering and fruit set still depend on the variety and growing conditions.
Why does a shoot below the graft look different?
It may be rootstock growth. Trace it to its origin and remove growth below the graft.
Will it arrive with limes?
Flowers and fruit vary with the season and individual tree; they are not guaranteed by the product image.
Do yellow leaves always mean it needs feed?
No. Wet roots and other stresses can also cause yellowing. Check drainage and root moisture first.
