Anyone Growing Citron Compact

MikeInCypress · May 3, 2011

Growing this one based on recommendation of MDVPC. Set it out in a 4 gal pot and it was one of the 1st to set fruit. Then 2 weeks ago it got some sort of disease. Managed to harvest 3 fruit. Will save seed from one as I really enjoyed the sharp tomato taste. My question - Is it a disease magnet in anyone else's garden? The plant will be just a stalk with 3 sets of leave after I clean it up tomorrow.

I had a similar response here in NorCal where is is neither hot nor dry...actually cool and foggy. Diseased and never got a ripe fruit from it, but we have tough tomato conditions here.
