George, I have a Meyer Lemon that is 3 years old this season. Last year
it only had 5-6 buds and the birds got them. How do I prevent that this
year? We also have a Kumquat and planted a satsuma this past fall. Our
neighbor had the most wonderful satsumas this winter. We live on the Al
/ Fl line near Perdido Bay and there are lots of citrus trees in the
yards around here. Some of our neighbors have those giant lemons.
I've never had birds bother my citrus trees. The plums, pears, peaches,
and figs have to be netted to keep the birds off the fruit.

A couple of satsuma trees will be my next purchase. Just have to
convince DW to let me have them and then find a place to put them. We
live on a 75X150 city lot with a 2400 square foot house on it. Doesn't
leave a lot of room.
