It was about 3 foot high until I chopped off all the older growth to let some new green shoots at the base take over. I have done this with four plants and two of them are flowering again.
We have started Autumn with a couple of days in the high nineties. Still plenty of time for more fruit me thinks.
Made a salsa with Citron Compact and some red tommys yesterday and the CC gave the salsa a nice fruity taste.

Mantis-thats about the height that I get in my container. Glad you like CC. I am going to grow it outside this spring-before, its always been a winter glasshouse plant. Let me know if you get fruit from cutting back-I have always thought the second blush of fruit from cutting back was not as intense.

nice! :-)

it'll be another 2-3 months before I get my first CC... can't wait - thanks for the seeds Michael!

Just picked this Sicilian Plum fruit. Its 5 3/4 oz. In the SSE Yearbook for 07, Bill Minkey didn't list it-I may do so next Yearbook cause I like it. Interesting that I have had ber on my Opalka, Prue and one other paste, but havent had any on Sicilian Plum and Martino's Roma. Same exact container and growing conditions.

Aside from Color, how do Citron Compact and Dwarf Grandpa Gary Green compare? And Mike my CC are from your seeds. Haven't grown it in 10 years.

Mike-Have not grown DGGG, so I cannot answer your question. Maybe one of the other members here have and can answer. I do not even have seed anymore for CC.
