I received an utterly magnificent plant. Was worried a 4" plant would be pretty small but this thing is a lovely whopper. Crushed a leaf - wonderful !
This is truly a wonderful small citrus tree. I am amazed at its delicate tiny leaves and compact branches. New growth leaves even have this lovely limey smell to them. Very healthy, grafted onto a strong rootstock. I'm glad I finally but the bullet and got this exclusive from Logee's.
I bought my first ARL almost two years ago, and while overwintering indoors, it developed an impressive spider mite infestation. After the mites were eradicated, the tree appeared to be dying. In a last act of desperation, I hard pruned that little sucker and bought a second just to hedge my bets. It apparently had a will to live and bushed out immediately. Now BOTH my ARLs are thriving. I hope to see some flowering/fruit in the next year or so.
I got this plant from Logees in fall of 2018, and it bloomed in the winter of 2019, indoors. The first few flowers were sterile, but then it set more than a dozen fruit on a 1-ft tall plant. It is Dec 2020, the plant is back indoors and the fruit are still ripening, turning from dark green to maroon. Meanwhile, there are flowerbuds already forming to produce next year's crop.
This is one of my favorite plants. I got the smaller size in the mail maybe late Spring of 2017. It had some growth during the summer and after the solstice it has gone bananas. Also it seems really resilient- I've had both fungus gnats and spider mites but my citrus seem to shrug them off. Same is holding true for the palestine lime, another favorite.
