why is shipping prohibited to california?

If you never tried to drive through a California check-point on any dusty road on California border, you just might have this type of question. They check the trunk of your car and ask you if you are transporting any vegetables or fruits or seeds and such.. serious business. If you have anything, you have to throw it out right there and then or turn around. Contamination with bad bugs and unwelcomed species in the state. That goes along with Proposition 64 and other weird things Californians made up. Some of it obviously makes sense, like invasive species of plants and of bugs and destruction of natural habitat by unwelcomed bugs.

I'm planning to plant this tree indoor. Is this plant ok for indoor? please send me instructions on how and when to plant.

I bought mine about 2 years ago. it bloomed (1 Bloom) last year. How can I prune it so it will produce good fruit...and what must I do to help it along?

Pruning is an important part of proper edible plant care, and in the case of citrus trees, it’s particularly easy to do. The best time to prune is after harvest. Remove all suckers as soon as they are observed and Prune off all the dead, broken, diseased, or crossing branches.

Shipping to my zone says late November. Should I really plant a lemon tree in zone 8 in early winter? (Sorry if this is a dumb question - I don’t know anything, other than I really want a lemon tree)

We appreciate you reaching out to us. Because weather and soil conditions vary so much from year to year and even within your zone, it's best to think of your planting time as a range of favorable conditions instead of an exact time.

You can plant new plants and trees:
1) when the ground is not frozen.
2) when daytime temperatures are above freezing (32ºF) and below 90ºF.
3) when extreme weather (blizzard, hail, torrential rain, etc.) is not in the forecast. Be sure to keep plants watered if you're transplanting in warm and/or dry weather.

If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach back out to us. Have a great day!

What is the ideal size pot once tree reaches maturity?

Myself, I wouldn't keep it in a pot . They have quite an extensive root system, however if you did, I would use a 30 gal pot. Of course others may have a different opinion.

Beautiful!
Beautiful tree! It started growing pretty soon after I planted it. If you are not experienced with this lemon tree, it does have thorns, but those are easily remedied. It is a wonderful addition to our living room!
