I have all my trees in containers, all 30 of them. Have two lemon varieties, Meyer, St Teresa. Might be able to squeeze one more. Have to find a good rootstock also for it. Lemon will be used mainly for cooking and drinks. ( tropical stuff ). David, cherries jubilee a la Antoine. Found a better one in the Chicago area, had to grease the waiter, still use the recipe. My wife favorite.

Sounds good to me. Lazz is the lemon man. I bet he has a recommendation for that third lemon you need. I am pleased with Eureka as a go to lemon. It serves lot of uses.

I would go for the Genoa. Italian lemons are the best in my opinion.

I have mine on swingle, but am growing a bunch of volk seedlings out to try them on when the volk is ready.

I have a large in ground Santa Teresa lemon, it sure produces a LOT of fruit.. ST makes a great lemon. Hard to beat a lemon named after a Saint.

Millet, 2 pieces of bud wood you gave me, made two trees and have a couple fruits on them already. I believe January 2017. Can wait to try, thanks, Bob.

Your most welcome for the bud wood. Looking at your collection of citrus, you are doing a good job as a grower.
