ggsgarden-I wouldn't trim it yet. Just leave it alone and put in full sun gradually. If it doesn't recover in about six weeks-then I'd trim it a bit. I don't know how warm it is in NC now, but do you bring it in at night?

thanks for reply. If you look closely you will see something has been nibbling on the leaves. I haven't seen or found what that may be. I did wash them and took them out and sprayed them with fish emulsion as they had some pale green/yellowing going on.

I plan on replanting them in a month or so. Any suggestions on a brand or mix of soil. Other then watering do you have any suggestions on fert. or foilage spray? The lemon has a couple of small lemons now so does it need anything extra when fruiting? Last question...Can I still replant it while fruiting or would that put it into shock. Thanks!

I've always used just a decent quality potting soil. I don't even fertilize mine much. The calamondin from seed has never flowered for me-I've read that that can take a long time, though.
Once you get it outdoors, I'm sure a good foliar feed would do it good, and if you're careful I would think repotting would be okay. If you can wait until it is finished fruiting though, that would probably be better.
