It used to blossom in Jan-Feb, indoors…no bees in the guest bedroom! I used an artist’s paint brush—soft bristled; just for kicks you can go “bzzz, bzzz” as you go from blossom to blossom. I’m not much for scents, but (Meyer) lemon blossom aroma is at the top of my list—subtle but filled the house.
The biggest problem was with scale—seemed it could appear and take over between waterings. It was scale or maybe I was too aggressive trying to shape the tree, that killed my last tree. That was after three barren years here in lower Delaware…I just gave up.
