Best time to remove baby fruit...
Comments (7)Suzi, if a citrus tree is struggling to develop its canopy as a young tree, especially if this tree is grown as a container citrus (and entirely different proposition than what you are used to, in the ground), then it is wise to remove the fruit in order to give the tree time to establish a canopy large enough to support and develop fruit, without jeopardizing the overall health of the tree. Citrus canuck, the easiest time to remove fruit is at the BB stage, but you can remove fruit at any stage. Meyers often do not drop their fruit and will over produce. Many lemons are like this. Same with the Page mandarin. Just pluck the fruit, enough the blossoms, and if the tree is not looking like it can support that future fruit, pop those fruits off at the BB stage. Your little tree has some post-transplant shock to make it through as well, so work on getting it re-established, and then maybe in 3 or 4 months, it will be ready to support a few fruit.

Comments (30)First is the big labeled family photo. Citrus: there's seedling lemon, tangelo, pummelo, yuzu, along with an unlabeled sudachi. There's also a larger grafted yuzu and a grafted calamondin. As for non-citrus, there's three nightshades (tamarillo, naranjilla and coconas), two pots of seedling guavas, and a rather spindly ice cream bean seedling.

[IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b122/davidals/Picture547.jpg[/IMG] Third, is a closer view including the big yuzu and calamondin, the pummelo and tangelo in front of them, and the big naranjilla on the right side. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b122/davidals/CopyofPicture548.jpg[/IMG] Last, this is a close-up of some of the seedling (non-grafted) citrus - from top to bottom, yuzu, pummelo, tangelo and sudachi. The black pot is tamarillo sprouts, which I need to thin out. To me, the only notable thing here is how different papeda-type citrus look from other citrus when young - smaller, slower in growth, smaller leaves, but very lush, small (not visible in this pic) spines, but more of 'em than other citrus.

Comments (44)My DD's have pretty unusual names. The eldest was going to be Amanda as I was in love with that name, it was unusual and I thought it so romantic. Then Bea Arthur was in a short lived TV show called Amanda and since I couldn't stand her, there was no way we could call our baby that name. Her father came home from work one day and asked what I thought of the name Tara (rhymes with Car) and I loved it, so that is what we named her. She's only run into a very few with the name pronounced the same, most are pronounced like the plantation in GWTW. Ironically, Amanda was a very popular name in the early 80's, and she went to school with 3 girls with that name! The next DD is named Dayna Elaine. I just LOVE her name but it's forever pronounced Diana or Dinah. How can you mess it up? My poor DS got a very common name, Jonathan, but I always loved the spelling Jon. He's got only one friend with the name Jon, but tons of Jared's, Justin's, Joel's and Jeremiah's!...See MoreBaby name choice causing family split
