Q.Can You Plant A Vining Mandevilla Or Hibscus Where A Persian Lime Tree Was?
We removed a Persian lime tree that was no longer producing fruit. Then we planted a Bella Scarlet Mandevilla Vine in its place two times and both have died. Want to know what to do and if we can plant something else there that will grow.

If this tree stopped producing due to disease, then it is very possible to pass this along to other specimens. There are several soil tests that you can do to help you get an idea of what is going on.
