Any good compost will do, but you can't just use compost. You must amend the soil with other amendments for a citrus.

Is it possible to purchase a Eureka Lemon that is grafted on to a "Flying Dragon " rootstock that has also a Mandarin grafted onto same. And if so would appreciate any contact details
How close can I grow my companion plants such as marigolds, dill, parsley or alfafa to my citrus trees? I have a dwaft lemon and lime tree.
Sure! You can plant anywhere that there is space. As long as you are not hitting large roots, you will not risk damaging feeder roots, which are well underground and out of the way.

Why have my lemon and orange trees, ( grown in pots ), produced fruit with no juice this year? They have been well-watered. Thank you
Here are some reasons that should be relevant for both citrus trees:
i am not a good gardener . just bigner in gardening.want to know about fertilising and watering citrus plants . pl. advise. appreciate.
This link takes you to a plethora of articles about citrus care, disease, etc.
The fruit is huge. More the size of a grapefruit. Sold to me as a lemon tree.
I compared the fruit and leaves to lemon tree images and I do not think it is a lemon tree. You have so many different kinds of fruits that grow in Florida, I suggest contacting your local extension director and asking what is popular in your area and showing him/her this photo. If you think it grew on its own, look around your neighborhood for a similar tree that may be the parent. It is also possible the tree was grafted and the desirable top of the tree died and the rootstalk survived and took over. They are usually less desirable fruit. You also could contact the seller and ask about it.

I planted some lemon seeds half a year ago, and I have a question for two of them; one, the smallest of them is losing its leaves. Its leafs have brown spots (see image). They had some kind of insects on them, but I managed to kill those. However, it is still losing the leaves. Is there any way to save it? The other one, the largest, was growing quite quickly, and was leaning against the window. When I turned it around after a month or so, it couldn’t stand upright anymore. Is there a way that I can help it gain ‘strength’ to grow up, or will it just do it naturally after some time?
Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the damage. Indoors, it is common for citrus to need extra lighting indoors. This, some feeding every few months, and careful watering habits will ensure good health.
