Speaking of bringing in citrus, people don't realize how beautiful some of these trees are and that they can be grown indoors over the winter months if the space and conditions are right. I don't grow citrus, but had a "donor" Corsican citron sent me. The cutting was no more than 6" tall and the guy had no idea what it was. It took me 2 or perhaps it was 3 years to grow it large enough to finally flower and grow fruit. Only then could it be identified. I kept that tree around 6' tall and it was a gorgeous tree. The neat thing about it was that it was in flower most of the year. To this day I have never seen a Corsican citron tree for sale. My tree was snatched up by a horticultural PhD working for Mississippi State. He wanted the fruit from the tree just to make wine. I don't know whether he will be successful in doing this but I told him if he did get wine from that juice, he had to promise to bring me a bottle. He agreed. We'll see.
