Is trifoliate a dwarfing rootstock??
Comments (8)Laura, there are several types of trifoliate hybrid rootstock being used today. The C35 that I like to buy my trees on is considered semi dwarf. In fact trifoliate can be standard, semi or dwarf, it just depends on what that particular rootstock produces from its traits. Here is the link for the trifoliate and the hybrid page at the citrus variety collection in riverside for more info on each type of rootstock commonly used in California grown citrus. It may not necessarily apply to Record Buck Farms or Harris citrus but will hopefully help clarify your question better than I'd be able to. http://www.citrusvariety.ucr.edu/citrus/trifoliatesandhybrids.html Evan...See MoreCocktail tree - to divide or not divide???
Comments (41)I have the exact same one. I bare-rooted them and gently pulled the roots apart after a good soaking and while keeping a mister on hand to keep the roots moist. What a horrible way to pot plants that are capable of growing into large trees. The two varieties are supposed to be grafted on a rootstock and share a root system. This is just laziness by Record Buck Farms. The two trees look great now and they're both recovering well. Both of them were flowering and starting to set fruit when I separated them so they had to come off. You don't want to consume anything from a plant that has had an ISD treatment for at least 3 years anyway since the insecticide persists in the plant tissues and flowers pollinated by insects can cause havoc (ex. colony collapse syndrome). Get rid of the "soil" it comes with and put it in a 60:40 sand:peat moss soil. You'll have to make it yourself but you can grow anything in it. It's extremely cheap and easy to mix....See MoreHelp Sourcing Moro Blood Orange in Central FL?
Comments (13)Update: on my way out to a wedding Saturday, I was able to stop at Pokey's out in Zellwood to ask in person if they ever sell cuttings. A very, very nice employee told me that, while they don't sell them, he'd be happy to grab me a couple to take home at no charge if I told him what I was looking for. A couple minutes later, I was on my way with three cute little four-inch Moro cuttings to try and root. After a dip in the hormone, they're sitting out on the heating mat on my (very small) patio in one-gallon black nursery pots. If anyone's willing to send some good energy my way that they actually root, I'd really appreciate it!...See MoreUngoogle-able lemon leaf problem? (1st time lemon/any tree owner)
Comments (16)Thanks Kelley! I'm still on the fence about how well my tree is doing but so far it doesn't look like there's any large infestations or obvious diseases. The only explanations would have to be root rot, lots of fungus gnat larvae, or not enough food for the tree. And I'm hoping it's not the root rot! With your mix, it might be due to the fact that each of those materials hold water very well. From all the research I've looked at online, vermiculite and perlite are usually recommended to be chosen for just one or the other in most soil mixes. Or a mix of both to equal 1 part. The only time I've seen a mix include both as separate parts was IVOrganics on YouTube but I didn't stay updated on how the tree fared. If your vermiculite was a larger, coarser type then it might be ok? I've read vermiculite tends to hold water very well due to absorption while perlite just gets wet on its surface. Is your lime also on that same mix? It probably is just the mix's drainage...I think an expert should give you a more informed opinion on your eureka. I've had my first lemon for only a month now. My advice would probably be to not listen to my advice lol...See More- 7 years ago
