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. |

In late February I observe the new growth have made tremendously large leafs -- a sign that the tree is not getting sufficient light and is producing larger leafs to try and compensate. I did shuffle/move plants around today to move it away from the shade of a larger nearby tree. |

Motivation to get a Calamondin is because I enjoy calamansi lime canned drinks from the asian/indian markets. I want to grow a lot of Calamondin limes for 'calamansi margaritas' as an alternative to the common mexican/persian lime margaritas. |
