Lets see your Hosta combo pots
Comments (10)My combo pots are mostly all hosta. No other stuff. I did remove a very healthy wild violet from my Zounds today, and put it in the big firepit planter with other wild violets. No picture of that though. So here are some of my combos. The Razor's Edge in the middle of lots of Verna Jean. Some were old ones, and some were new this spring. I find it hard at a casual glance to tell which are old, which are new. All the Verna Jeans came from Green Mt....See MorePlease, let's see your citrus trees for March 2021!
Comments (39)@bonsai_citrus_and_indoor_gardening, I was asking the same thing not too long ago. We have two Kaffir/Makrut trees which now produce fruit year round. My favorite thing to make with them is Thai green curry paste, which uses the juice, rind and/or leaves. I make a large batch and put it into ice cube trays, freeze and then store in zip lock bags. When the craving for curry hits, we stir fry whatever meat or vegetables we have on hand, add 2 - 3 cubes of frozen curry paste with a can of coconut cream, simmer and then serve over rice. Here is the recipe for the paste: 1 stalk lemongrass 2 Tbsp Coriander Seeds 2 Tbsp Fish Sauce 1 tsp Brown Sugar 4-6 Green Chillies, deseeded (adjust as per to taste) 1 small Onion/Shallot 1-2 large Garlic Cloves 1 tsp Kaffir Lime Zest 1 tbsp Kaffir Lime Juice 1 thumb-size piece Ginger 1 cup Cilantro stems and leaves 1 cup fresh Basil stems and leaves Mix well, using a food processor, blender or by hand. I modify the recipe by amping up the juice & zest and I sometimes add in the leaves. The juice is great in savory asian dishes, but is far too strong a taste for cocktails or desserts. I use the juice with a white fish (see this recipe - https://www.blueapron.com/recipes/seared-cod-with-makrut-lime-butter), as part of Tom Yum soup, or to season and garnish Pad Thai. They are featured in many Thai dishes....See MorePlease, let's see your Kishu citrus trees. Any fruit?
Comments (2)I have two young Kishu trees that I grafted last summer. Too small to bear yet. One did bloom for the first time, but no fruit held. Maybe next year, as they say. Amazingly a Murcott that I grafted about the same time has maybe a dozen fruit....See MoreLet us see your citrus seedlings or cuttings now matter old or big)
Comments (11)I'm in South Eastern Pennsylvania. I started this lemon tree from seed 2.5 years ago. It's almost the size of my grill. I don't know which variet of lemon it is, just that I chose an organic lemon. (I didn't expect much success.) It is sort of a crockpot kind of plant- I do next to nothing to it. I put it outside in late spring and bring it back in October. It gets tons of sun and is in the path of an irrigation system. No flowers yet though. I'm thinking I need to cut back some of the lower branches that go out so wide, but I don't really know. In a few weeks . I'll bring it inside to a sunny window. At night the room it will be in drops to about 64. It seems to like those conditions. (The leaves on top are fairly new and will still droop after a long period of sun.)...See More

9 years agoThis Fukushu is in a resin pot; in Napa. It had minimal damage from the December 2013 freeze (many nights in the 20's, several in the teens - low was 16F) without protection other than a blanket over the bottom/pot.
The Fukushu produced lots of juicy and rather good tasting fruit; the martinis have been fantastic!

9 years agoHi Steve, a good question. I do not know the capacity, but found this picture from March 29th 2014. - see below. This exercise made me realize that i don't take many pictures that include the pot!
We had a freeze this past week [27F a few nights]. I will get a fresh picture and post it if there is damage. Note that the pot sits on a concrete pad. I believe that helps with the thermal issues.
The Fukushu is on Volk.
I struggled for a couple of years to make it happy.
It [finally] responded to weekly doses of Vinegar/FP solution along with a liberal sprinkle of MG Citrus slow release.
Its planted in the original mix from W&N and Napa soil filled in to the edges.-George

9 years agoI believe that is called a waterspout. Can anyone explain what they are and what to do.(the leaves are huge compared to the rest of the canopy) it's a lower branch it is not rootstock since its way above the graft line.

That is not a watersprout but a health well placed branch, as long as it is above the graft line. If it is below the graft line it is a rootstock sucker and should be removed.

Thanks for getting back with the picture. I am going to guess that your container is 7 gallons. I see you have to tie it to the safety rail.
I have another Meyer in a 30 gallon container that lost most of its leaves to insect damage late august. My other 2 sweetlee tangerine trees are between my house and garage concrete walls of 15 feet length. and a landscaping timber wall to the east and a clay wall to the west. You could say the 2 trees share a 3,200 gallon container container.
Here is the picture of the now 2 year old seed grown sweetlee tangerine tree.
