Citrus Trees: Meyer Lemon & Lime
June 30, 2007: These trees were a wedding gift from the Drapers. We would love to have planted them in the ground, and I'm sure they'd rather be in the ground. But since we are renters, we'll keep them in pots until we have some ground of our own for them.
So far these poor trees have had a hard time. The main problem is nasty scale, and ants which farm the scale. Last week I found a recipe online for a spray (rubbing alcohol, water, and a tiny bit of dish soap to make it stick,) and I'm trying this every 3 days to combat the scale, as well as diatomaceous earth around the pots to combat the ants.
