    We have 3 small lemons, 2 small limes, and a significantly larger lime tree in the greenhouse. The little ones are ~2-3 feet tall, the big lime is around 6 feet tall. They all came from local greenhouses, except one of the lemon trees which my wife started from a seed. With our setup, they bear fruit pretty much year round. Watch what type of lime tree you get, as our big one has some wicked sharp 3 inch thorns.

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    They're all potted, the smaller ones in about 5 gallon pots, and the big lime tree in about a 15 gallon one. We move them in during the colder part of the year, and outside from about mid-May to mid-September.

    I also just ordered her some Cavendish dwarf banana trees, so we'll see how that works out.

    Thanks, I'll have to give that a try.
