Q1: I only have a young Sat mandarin (produced just a few) and my experience and what I've read says yes. Q2: As noted by other posters above, you probably haven't done anything wrong. Patience... ditto with the lime. If they are experiencing flushes and looking healthy you are probably doing everything right. Note: LOTS of things could have gone wrong by now... You should still be feeding the trees monthly as they are still young, but do so much less (1/3 amount?) this/next month until warm weather arrives (probably late Jan/Feb). As soon as it gets warm for a week you'll see them prepare for another flush and bloom, feed them a regular dosage at their next schedule feeding -- unless leaf discoloration tells you otherwise (you can deal with later, no need to worry about it now). Even though it is winter you should still monitor if they need any water, since we can go long drought periods between rain. As with all normal watering advice, be sure to not over water. A picture of the planting would be nice to see! Keep up the good work.

Well, you're in the middle of your summer, so for a tree that has been accustomed to full shade, I would probably consider providing it a little shade in the afternoon, so it doesn't fry as it gets used to being in full sun. Don't amend your hole, just plant in your native soil. Be sure it isn't planted any deeper than it was previously. You can top dress the tree with compost if you want. Water appropriately, and once the tree recovers from transplant shock, and starts to put out some flush, fertilize with a high quality citrus fertilizer. Will it survive? Possibly, if it can recover from transplant shock and if it is watered appropriately and fertilized appropriately :-) Citrus are amazingly resilient. Patty S.

Had the tree for about 3 or 4 years. I had it in the ground for 2 years, and it wasn't growing or doing anything. Repotted it into this pot and it started growing nice. Only one fruit last year though. It's a dwarf tree, and doesn't seem to grow much taller. Not sure about your comment about massive flush of growth, I don't see any new growth and I see some dying growth rather. I feel like it's all of a sudden gotten unhealthy. Not sure if it has anything to do with all the blossoms, there's so many of them....

Dave and Steve, the Prague citsuma is doing great. It is a slow-growing tree, but it grew quite a bit this year in the ground. We have had lows in the mid-20s I think so far and it has not had any issues. I'll post a pic of it tomorrow. Alexander is doing very well. I moved him closer to the windows in my sunroom this year and I've kept it as cold as possible. He seems to like that. I noticed with the Meyers that the colder it is, the fewer leaves they drop. I understand the relationship between light needs and temperature, but the other trees are not as susceptible to leaf drop. The cold does them good. Dave, I gave away my big oroblanco. I'm glad you got the cutting when you did. I love the flowers, but I am just not a fan of grapefruit. I only kept one grapefruit because it is a more compact tree and easier to manage - a red ruby. The flower of that one also smells great. I just give the fruit to my mom ;)
