What do you think of Rangpur Lime?
Comments (36)Laura, I have noticed that my kumquats seem to need a long period of very hot sunny weather before they start to grow each year and only seem to start setting fruit in the summer months. They seem to catch up with my other trees producing a lot of fruit though and seem to ripen faster than my other citrus varities. Mine are very pretty shaped trees and do seem to grow more slowly than my other varities too. Cory...See MorePlanning a cold hardy citrus shopping spree
Comments (20)It's better if you wait till spring to plant in ground. If you do it now, they will het stressed by the heat since their roots haven't setteld in yet. Then Winter comes while they're trying to recover.. The citrangequat is decent. I have one in 7b/8a that puts out a lot of fruit. a 5 year old tree from seed with 20-30 fruit. It flowered again last month, and set some more fruit. Decent limeish taste, and I do zero protection. For sour citrus, it does ok if you like limes. My wife is a lemon person so she doesn't partake. I tasted Changsha before as well, and it is also decent but get used to seeds. There is a seedless Changsha which might be out in a year or two from UGA. It's the best chance for sweet hardy citrus. I had a taiwanica but gave it to a coworker, as I have way too many citrus now. It has not fruited yet....See MoreThomasville Old Gold
Comments (8)I have never grown that rose, but I was curious, so I looked it up on HMF. It is a tea. It always amazes me how much trouble people take to try and grow tea roses in zones which may not be warm enough. How long have you had yours? How big is it? Is it on its own roots? The last question may be the most important - if it is on its own roots, it can be killed by cold back to the ground, and still come back in the Spring. I hope someone who grows teas in your area will respond. Jackie...See MoreI'm breeding new cold-hardy citrus varieties for zone 8
Comments (154)Herman, thanks for the update. It’s great to see fruit already. How large are the Conestoga 026 Segentrange and Poncirus Plus fruit? They look similar to PT…….or are they larger…….photos can be hard to judge. Great to hear 5* Citrumelo has some sweetness. Fruit ripens around Thanksgiving……but the size is clearly larger than PT…….a nice selection. Getting fruit in 3 years is very fast. I gave my brother who lives in Fairfax, VA a seed grown Citrumelo 12 years ago and it still hasn’t bloomed! Keep the updates coming....See MoreScott_6B
