OK, I'm overruled !
I admit that I did think a baby tree wouldn't look pretty in a large pot.
Even if there's a delay on flowers and fruit, you still get the beautiful fragrance just by bruising a leaf.
By the way, I've been told that potted citrus should be planted in cactus mix soil because it's fast draining and there's no worry about wet feet.

That's the plan. I have a 30 year mortgage but in this day and age that's no guarantee we will be here that long.
Worst comes to worst I can stash a couple hundred bucks away to have the orchard hauled wherever I go if I must. besides? Any suburbanite who wanted this place would see an orchard as a liability. Hurricanes + fruit = projectiles.
I figure too that with a potted orchard, it's easier to keep them small enogh to net in a storm.
Hrm mmm I still have a spare 24" pot ... Mango or avocado? Maybe tropical apples ...
