Nice to add to garden as supporting shrub. Pruned to a tidy shape they add interest with their glossy foilage. Flowers smell grand and you also have fresh fruit. White flies are some time a problem, all season oil spray works well. We found that a thick mulch of pine needles helps.

like all citrus,good feed of manures, blood and bone go long way. mine also love a good feed of potassium, manganese and zinc. Fruits well in warm, frost free climates. Mulch well, to keep roots insulated, improve soil structure and provide ongoing food.
