Dont know about cuttings but I have grown from seeds diffrent citrus trees. First year or two are very slow but then they took of nicely. Cut tip once and while and you get well branched trees.

Go to the airport and buy one of those boxed ones. I think you can find one online too. Espoma makes a citrus blend. Works well. My Tampa Airport lemon tree is 5' tall.

I bought one of those box ones, it was only $5 but it just won't keep growing. How have you treated your tree? Thanks Jim

Full Sun and do not freeze it. I left it out this year and it dropped all the leaves. Came back with flowers. I use Espoma Citrus Blend from mail order. They are pretty hearty but need the sun. Make sure it is not pot bound or gets too wet for too long.

I have a grow light so I will try that for about 9 hours a day! Where do you get your Espoma Citrus Blend?

It is easy to find in Florida, not so easy in CT or NH. http://www.amazon.com/Espoma-Organic-Citrus-Tone-5-2-6-Bag/dp/B000GD3L2K

Or you can go to the local Agway and have them order it for $6.50.
