No, I top all my seedlings. Cutting off a few nodes will not delay fruiting, doing this makes the tree flush making many more nodes.

Ilya, on your picture this is the fruit they call "cedro" but in fact it is a very good lemon, not a citron.

That is the problem with citrus. Without being waxed & gassed they decompose very quickly.

This fruit is called "Cedro" or "Cedri" by Italians. It looks like a citron, but tastes like a lemon.

So many different cedros how do you differentiate and remember one from the other?

This kind is called Sorrento lemons or Amalfi lemons. At the local markets they call it cedri or cedro to differentiate it from the local (regular) lemon they also grow in Sorrento and on the amalfitan coast witch is thought to be a feminello selection. Both are on the picture.

I cannot speak of the genetic parents but for the taste it is definitely a lemon.

I have started to move them up to 7 gallon containers, they should really take off this year.

Seedlings with multiple trunks and branches will grow with tighter leaf node distances than a single leader no branches tree. Maturity at a low height to the soil line. This is in response to the last 2 statement on page 1 before I realized there was a page 2. That is why it looks out of place.

I top all my seedlings first at about 18 inches and then as I see fit. Seedlings grown in direct sun will produce a tighter node count than those grown in shade. I've been growing citrus from seed for nearly 20 years... If you grow multiple seedlings close together they tend to grow straight up.
