Here's a lemon tree pre-bonsai in Brazil.

Property of "Bonsai Morro Velho". It still needs refinement but it has some fat bones to it..!

Height about 60cm.
The pot is 48x48x21cm

Changing pretty fast.

One of mine is about to bloom, too. Seems like if you stress them a little ( I let it get pretty dry, by accident) they want to bloom.

Also have a lemon tree here but it seems to not be growing. What type of soil should we use and what can we do to make it grow a bit faster? Been about the same size for a year.
thanks!

What type of soil

I use the succulent/citrus Miracle Grow potting soil. It works fine for mine.

When I got home from work yesterday, I opened the back door to let my dog out, and I saw a humongous red-tailed hawk dismembering a squirrel in my yard....
If it makes you feel any better...

When I was a kid, my parents liked Chihuahuas. On multiple occasions, we saw an owl pick up a Chihuahua and try to carry it off but it always dropped them from a few feet up. I thought it was funny but my parents, and Chihuahuas, didn't think it was so funny!

Hahaha, just a little natural world violence desensitization for you!
That's funny!

Nigel Saunders has an interesting lemon tree, check him out on youtube!

Lemon trees have a pattern where they bottle up their energy and then will grow very rapidly, don't be surprised when you see an 8 foot shoot!

Before I put it in the greenhouse it wasn't growing much at all and now its grown a lot. Just like you said. 8 to 10 inch shoots.

Mine just sat around all winter doing nothing. Now it's pushing new shoots all over and blooming, must feel spring coming.

Acid soil. They love the acid. Since you live in Florida... they don't like salt. Make sure your water is low in sodium.

All my citrus decided to wake up too now- growing and flowering like crazy! Here’s my satsuma orange, similar to a “cutie”.

Very cool to see. For some reason its hard to get lemon and orange trees shipped to Texas. Love to have an orange also.

Hmm. That’s weird, no idea why that would be. Well I’d ship you some cuttings if they wouldn’t be seized by the government!

Wow, that thing is really loaded with flowers! Be careful when the fruit sets, not to jostle it around too much. The fruit is easily knocked off, when it's small.

Good to know. Thank's.
