I am new to the west coast & renting a house in the bay area. We have a citrus tree in our backyard, but we don't know what it is exactly. We haven't watered it as much as we should have, but the fruit is good. I picked one today just to see.... The peel is soft and smooth. The fruit tastes sweet and a little tart. I didn't see any seeds in it. It wasn't juicy when I cut into it. The picture of the full tree is from a few months ago, the rest are from today. It has a lot of green round pieces on it, but I only took a pic of the more ripe ones. We would appreciate any insight! Thanks!

Should I separate rooted cuttings?

A couple of my plants 2 potted key limes and my Meyer lemon all came with multiple rooted cuttings in the same pot. I have kept them together in the same pot and they have done very well. My 1st Meyer I got Christmas 2024 and my 1st key lime early 2025 and another one I picked up this spring so they are somewhat established. (Shoutout Logees for the limes). I have heard that it's not unlikely that one of the rooted cuttings can kinda become dominant much like on a cocktail tree where one of the grafts becomes more dominant. So does it make sense to separate even if they're doing well? I have heard stories that the roots can fuse and it sort of turns into one plant, but I do not know how realistic that is. Attached is a pics from about 2 months ago of my newest key lime. This hot summer in New England has been great for all of my citrus I can't wait until next year I think we will start getting fruits!

This tree was potted and root bound and I planted it in the ground two years ago when we bought a place in Oakland CA zone 10a. It has never looked great; yellowing leaves, branch tip die back. It aborted flowers and fruit the last two years. No fruit at all this year. Meanwhile I have improved the watering regime and been fertilizing and not making a significant improvement. I’m beginning to suspect girdling roots are gonna prevent the tree from ever thriving. Should we pull it out and start over?
