Average outdoor weekly temperature is 33.6F. The greenhouse average weekly temperature is 51.5F and its thermostat was set around 45F. Today I've bumped the thermostat up to 55F to try and get some of the greenhouse trees to flower/grow. |

4 new stainless steel 2-tier shelf sets have been put into the greenhouse to get plants a bit further up off the cold brick floor. |

| upgrade | Potting Up May 31, 2022 |
Up potted into a 10 gallon air pot. Mixed a 5-1-1 soil from aged/composted fir bark fines, perlite, and peat or coco coir. I also add some 1/2" fir bark chunks and worm casings. Mulched with rice hulls. |

Motivation to get this tree is my family can use a good supply of lemons/limes, and since we're going with pruned/managed container trees I believe we probably are going to need multiple trees. A Bearss is a good producer and nearly thornless. |
