When does your Costco bring out the citrus?
Comments (9)As far as i recall, NorCal Costco's carried citrus from three growers this past season... (Burchell, Frantz, and Willits&Newcomb). - mostly due to high demand and limited supply. There is a bit of a push to limit sourcing from SoCal due to ACP risks. They show up in March and fade away by June. However, i have to say the selection and maturity (trunk diameter and therefore better freeze toughness) of the W&N products were better than the others. Not sure what the issue is about the soil mix Northbay, i prefer the W&N soil as it stays together when you pull the root ball out of the container. Most all other brands' ( at Costco and other) soil falls apart so you are nearly bare-rooting! Then again, perhaps that is better if you are potting them. -George...See MoreMy Spring Shipment Experience from Four Winds Growers
Comments (10)Through the years I bought an entry level owari satsuma (killed it 2 years later)from them and it was OK, I recently bought a premium Kukushu kumquat from them and was quite pleased. I initially purchased small citrus to learn from a variety of sellers, Woodlanders, One Green World, etc. (never Harris) but while pricey both Four Winds trees were noticeably better. the high graft on Harris is a turn off for me which adds another problem to in/out growers, another tall thing. At this point, less is more, and I really only want 4 to 5 trees tops of stuff ready or almost ready to bear without it affecting the trees health, I'm stuck growing a Citrangequat to broomstick size (looks like another overwinter) before I attempt to plant it out with protection so this thing could be 8 foot tall before I get it outside. In any event I would purchase a premium only from Four winds again, if I was looking......BTW just ordered a Meyer and Owari from Costco (anybodys guess but the picture looked good) but they are 5 gallon, 2 at $108...., hope their not too tall...See MoreCostco Citrus Meyer Lemon 5 gallon listed Delivered
Comments (7)I got 2 - 5 gallon rootmakers, just washed out roots and repotted in 5-1-1, I have to check the labels again but its dark out, I believe they were sold as a semi-dwarf meyer and a standard owari owari satsuma I did remove the stake of death, but both had decent rootballs and fairly thick stalks...See MoreCostco Citrus outside, rootstock question
Comments (2)Interesting that your rootstock looks similar to that for my FW Tango (that was a "premium" size). The FW tag listed it as "True Dwarf". It has a similar "loop-de-loop" root/trunk and the tree in general has given me heartburn since I got it last summer. Here is the bottom of the graft -...See Moreevdesert 9B Indio, CA
