Lemon tree and blood orange tree not blossoming
Comments (2)I believe they are grafted. The trees look super healthy. Had a problem about 4 months ago with scale but it's been taken care of and the trees really look good. Is it possible that the fertilizer is working to promote new growth - which is abundent, instead of promoting fruit growth and if so, is there anything I can do? This tree is like my third child, it gets so much attention :)...See MoreSomething is eating my blood orange tree
Comments (5)If the branches are soft enough, and if you have enough snails. They can decimate tender young leaves and branches. And, they seem to have built-in "radar" for citrus. I battle them constantly here in the coastal San Diego county area :-( I should by stock in Monterey, the company that makes Sluggo. Hand picking will not suffice, you really do need to apply bait. Sluggo is just iron phosphate, so it will eventually just break down into iron in the soil. Sluggo works well, Deadline works exceptionally well. Also, do you have deer in your area? Deer will also eat off low tender citrus branches. Patty S. This post was edited by hoosierquilt on Sun, Jun 2, 13 at 18:19...See Moreorange tree blood orange
Comments (4)Hi Tony, The first leaf isn't a true leaf..It'll take even longer for the true leaves to form. Is your seedling getting sun? They need light to grow...and a mild dose of fertilizer. You didn't mention where you lived..What state are you in? If you live in a cold climate, with gray days nearing, your seedling will probably halt its growth. Keep seedling in a bright window, adding humidity. Do not allow soil to stay constantly wet..keep barely moist. Since winter is approaching, don't fertilizer after October. If possible, place plant under artificial light at night, even a few hours will help..If you have a light setup near a window, that'll be better. What size pot is the seedling growing in? You don't want to use too big a container..I find peat pots/pellets work fantastic, and they come in different sizes. 2 1/4" - 2 1/2" How about roots? Are they creeping out of the drainage hole?

Comments (25)A friend of mine has Changsha tangerine trees. A few years ago it was five degrees and they were covered with ice, but it didn't faze them in the least. This quote is from the article linked below: "'Changsha' has survived 4 degrees F. temperatures near Dallas, Texas." The fruit is seedy so best eaten outdoors where you can spit the seeds, but are very sweet and tasty; easy to peel too. They come true from seed and produce in seven years. The tree I planted from seeds is about four years old and looking good! I'm not sure if plant nurseries carry them, but they should, IMHO. Here is a link that might be useful: Changsha tangerines ......See MoreJGriffin
