I've a basjoo that has already pushed up about a foot of ratty leaf -- this in 8b Portland, OR! It's been near freezing at night and only in the low 50's during the day. Basjoo is a whacky banana...

I was having similar issues with my Meyer Lemon, except I wasn't getting much fruit at all. 90% of my leaves had leaf miners, the leaves were all mottled, wrinkly, turning yellow/brown. It was a mess!! I got tired of it, so I "hard pruned"(only very little leaves left) the leaves/branches, 6 weeks later, new leaves and all sorts of blooms are coming up. This is the best and fullest this tree has looked in the four years I've had it. Not saying the leafminers won't be back, because I know they will, but at least I'll enjoy the lush look of it while it lasts, LOL... In your case, I'm not sure what to tell you, I know that pruning the branches will promote more new branches, but since your tree is full of fruits, I'm sure you don't want to prune them now. Maybe you should google "citrus leafminers" and see if that is what your tree has? Good luck! Maybe others can offer more help... Here is a pic of my tree(6 weeks or so) after I hard pruned it...the new leaves/blooms finally filling in nicely...

If the origianl question is the forms of daylilies. I copied this directly from the AHS. Daylily blooms have a wide array of different forms. These include: Circular When viewed from the front of the bloom, the flower appears round. Segments tend to be short, wide, and stubby and generally overlap, giving a full appearance. Triangular When viewed from the front of the bloom, the flower segments form a triangle. The sepals generally recurve. Star When viewed from the front of the bloom, the flower segments tend to be long and pointed. There is space between the segments and the shape looks like a three-pointed or six-pointed star. Informal When viewed from the front of the bloom, the flower segments have no definable shape. Segment placement may be irregular, widely-spaced, or floppy. Ruffled When viewed from the front of the bloom, the flower segments have ruffles along the edges. Ruffles take many forms; they may be tightly crimped, laced, knobby, or wavy. Flat When viewed from the side of the bloom, the flowers are perfectly flat except for the concave throat. Recurved When viewed from the side of the bloom, the flower segments flare, but the ends of the segments roll or tuck under. Trumpet When viewed from the side of the bloom, the flower form resembles a true lily. Segments rise from the throat in an upward pattern with little flare. Spider This form has long defied definition, however the segments are much longer than their width. A 1991 ruling places flowers in the spider class if their segments have a length to width ratio of at least 4 to 1 (i.e., 4:1). Length is measured with the segment fully extended. Width measurement is taken as the flower grows naturally. Double This form has more than six segments. Double daylilies, like single daylilies, come in differing forms. For example: The extra segments may appear as a tuft in the middle of the flower. This if often referred to as a "peony-type" double. They may appear as a second layer of segments on top of the normal six, forming two blooms in one or a hose-in-hose effect (like some azaleas). They may appear as irregular or asymmetrical extra petaloids. Here's a link to the AHS And by the way I love daylilies, short, tall, fat or skinny. Tom Here is a link that might be useful: AHS FAQ

Greenfinger, I believe you thread and mine are the same topic. One of my plumeria is doing the same thing. If anyone knows anything about this "mid stalk second leaf emergence" trait. I would like to know more about it. See my pics from the thread started last night.....I am curious to know your color after yours blooms. Is it only yellow/white that does this? Man these plumerias are addicting.......mike
