So helpful and full of great advice
I am glad I found this book on Amazon! I recently acquired a dwarf Meyer lemon tree for Christmas. Wanting to make sure I provide my new tree with the ideal growing conditions, I scoured the internet and came up with this book. After reading it in its entirety I feel assured I can give it the right moisture, food, and sunlight. I’m sure I’ll be referring back to it many times throughout the coming years. I’m also looking forward to trying to grow a mandarin tree from seeds, thanks to the wisdom provided here. Thank you!

Feeling more confident!
Apartment living can get the better of you if you don’t have some lush greenery to give you that sense of outdoors. My citrus trees do just that. The smell from the blossoms fill the room with that wonderful citrus freshness.. I have however struggled with pests and diseases and monitoring the moisture levels of my soil.. as a result I’ve tried everything to keep my plants happy. I’ve glanced through this easy to read, easy to find info book by Madison and I’m so glad I’ve found it! So many of my questions have been answered. I feel more confident to grow my trees and yield fruit successfully!

Must buy!
Growing your own citrus & having them indoors, does something for your senses. I really enjoy growing my dwarf orange tree and lemon tree - however, I don’t enjoy the pests that come along with them from time to time. This book has been a tremendous help! My plants are happier and healthier than ever! Due to my success with Madison's book, I decided to purchase her book on container gardening as well.

Good for beginners like me
I got this book after having my trees for three years and noticing that they were not happy trees due to lack of production and infestation. This book gives me hope I can rehabilitate them again!

Great primer on container citrus
This book has all you need to get started on the rewarding hobby of growing citrus in containers indoors, along with information for those lucky enough to live where they can live outside year-round. It covers all of the basics from species best suited for container gardening, pot and soil selection, and maintenance such as pruning and pest/disease identification and management. If you're looking for a book to get you started with indoor citrus, this is the book for you!

small paperback size... its very basic!
A little disappointed...feel like i should have gone to an actual book store as this looks like it came from a flea market. I read it in one quick sitting. Some knowledge but i could have found that on google. Not a good quality book; (very light print and cheap pages)...wait to find it at a garage sale for .25cents!Feel bummed out as I wanted it to be what the other high reviewers found... Nope!

Great resource
I successfully fostered a lime tree for 18 months on my glassed in porch, just by treating it like my other plants. I miss it now that it has "taken its limes" and gone home. So, I have just bought a Meyer lemon tree and this book. The book has detailed culture information and removed any mystery about what now looks like a new hobby. Except how to espalier anything on my porch!

Valuable
Living in Amsterdam, there isn’t much space for a garden. That’s where my citrus trees come in. I love the scent they give off, and love using the fruit in various dishes to eat and drink. I love tea or hot water with lemon in. Madison Pierce highlights the common problems you may experience with citrus, things to look out for when transplanting, how to keep your plants happy indoors and so much more. This is a really valuable book!

Finally learning to grow my favourite fruits!
I've always enjoyed my fruit, and when the pandemic hit I ended up moving out of town and had to get into gardening. I wanted to grow the fruit and veg I enjoy eating. I have a lemon and orange tree. As I have heard citrus can be temperamental, I thought it would be best to have as much information as possible. This book certainly did not disappoint. It covers a wide variety of info - right from selecting the right tree for you, to growing it indoors, transplanting it, even espalier (which I had no idea what it was). The information on general problems and how to overcome them is very useful too. Definitely recommending this to my fellow gardeners.

Photos are blac and white
It's a fraud. Without any negative comments on text, this book is being advertised as a color photo book, but all photos in this book looks like a bad black and white copy made on old copy machine. Didn't bought the book because of photos but don't like this kind of fraud. Foolish.
