Ponderosa lemon for a fig

18 years ago

I visited several nurseries in the Greater Toronto Area and was not able to find Ponderosa Lemon.

I will give you a fig tree; cutting, small fig tree, bigger fig tree in exchange for Ponderosa Lemon. Thank you.

Where are you located? It is a bad idea to surround citrus with black plastic on the ground. Citrus feed through shallow feeder roots that are at soil level and black plastic kills them from spreading out. Especially in summer when it is hot you will fry the tender feeder roots for sure. You did the correct thing in pulling out that disc thing from the trunk. The trunk and the area around it should be free to prevent any trunk rot disease. If your trees look lush, then you might be feeding them too much nitrogen to promote excessive leaf growth. Please make sure that you are giving them a citrus fertilizer specially formulated for citrus. Peach and Citrus do not cross pollinate. If your trees are not blooming at all, it is not an issue of pollination as you need blooms in order to pollinate them! You will have to change over to citrus fertilizer (in the correct dosage) to promote blooms. And please do not get the citrus fertilizer spikes - they are not effective. Get the granular one.

HEy Mike, Actually, I did have some plumeria when I first met you but not many....JUST RECENTLY HAVE I BECOME OBSESSED LMAO!!! I'm telling ya the egg method is awesome!!! IT really thickens those fragile roots up quickly. If you can Mike...just try it with one and plant it in a clear plastic pot. I swear, in 6 months(maybe even shorter if the plumeria is out in full sun and temps over 80),you will see for yourself. You will even see how the roots seek out that egg, and the roots end up doubling in girth!! I will NOT repot unless I have the eggs! IT's not worth it to me, and I have found that I end up with much better blooms. Also, I FINALLY got a fig tree collection going!! I have 7 diffrent varieties now and I will have one more to add here very soon. I tried my first ripe fig and it was DELICIOUS!! To me the flavor is very tropical and yummy! Man, I am not going to convince you on growing mango am I!! I'm telling ya...my citrus take more light and in general there 100% less finicky!! I will have to email some pics of mine. I also cannot get my D.R. to bloom but there seedlings. Your actually warmer and you have a longer growing season than I do. The mango will bloom in the early spring and will ripen before you have to bring them indoors. I hate to see you rob yourself of such an awesome experience just because you don't think you have enough light! Cmon Mike were's your sense of adventure?! Take care, Andrew

Hi Radovan

As Toni said, there's a nursery in Winnipeg that has variegated Ponderosa lemons, called Sage Garden Herbs. You'd have to send them an email asking if they have enough to sell this fall.

www.herbs.mb.ca

I'm coming out to Toronto in October, and will be hunting for fig plants. Can you give me tips on where to go looking for smallish plants? I have to be able to pack them in my car, so I don't want anything bigger than 2 feet!

Toni, thank you very much.

Susie, there should not be a problem. Yesterday I visited the biggest and the best and THe Most Expensive Nursery in Ontario; Humber nursery. They did have all sizes and kinds of fig trees, as of yesterday. I do not know what will they do in October but if everything goes a O.K. I should be able to give you some fig tree. Do not worry are they big or smallish, big ones you can trim , shake the soil off, wrap them in a plastic, transport them to your home and plant them back in containers. Keep my Email address.

I am 44km from down town Toronto.

Susie try this place:
http://www.adrianosfigtrees.com/

He lives in Mississauga which is a large suburb of Toronto in the GTA. I have never visited but he has always been very nice over the internet. See if he can help you out. E mail him first this is not a store but his home that he works out of. Check out the web site it's amazing.

Hey Radovan.... Don't give me a fig tree! I don't have a ponderosa lemon to trade with you! (I just have my one tiny little one, and sorry to say, I'm greedy and keeping it LOL). But you should be able to get one from Sage Garden Herbs.

Mario: yep, know of Adriano's figs online. I'll be on vacation when in TO, so don't know if I can drive to Mississauga or not. I have to do family stuff, so I'm looking for nurseries inside of TO. Also have to check out a couple of yacht and dinghy places while there, looking for a boat trailer.
