My New Four Winds Trees pics! (but also transplant shock worry)
Comments (14)Thanks Josh for the reply! I have them under the ledge of the patio, so they are getting some wind protection. I could put them in the greenhouse away from the fan and they would be better protected wind wise, but I think it may be still too hot for them in there? Yes Josh, I love blood oranges! I have another blood named Vaniglia Sanguigno I got from Logees when I was on vaca in CT, but it is not in fruiting stage yet. I just think blood oranges are so beautiful! And i am also excited for tasting a finger lime. The vesicles are round and the juice is suppose to just pop in your mouth. I was reading some fancy chef article or something that says because the vesicles are round and closed until bit into, the release of flavor in very intense and tasty along with the added addition of texture when it pops open. Again, the article explained it much better than I am here. I hope they have the red finger lime in the US one day. What is considered "too hot" for newly transplanted citrus? Mike, I know the worst part is the change of seasons and hauling the citrus in! I did this for years. But now I have the greenhouse and it has made a tremendous difference! For the first time i did not have to worry about leaf drop due to indoor lighting issues. If I remember correctly Mike, you have a greenhouse, but still bring them in around February when it gets real cold? I kept mine in the greenhouse all winter with heat of course. I only kept it in the low 40's on the coldest nights, sometimes even getting to the upper 30's, experimenting since it was my first year, and the citrus had no issues! I was suprised! Definitely reacted much better to the greenhouse than all the years being in my house with lights. Although I did not have the greenhouse up yet when Sandy came, which was a good thing because who knows if it would of gotten destroyed. But when Sandy came, I had my one room in the house filled with all my citrus and figs and other special plants so I would not lose them in the storm. Then, I had hauled them all back outside just to have them all hauled back inside less than a week later because of our freak Halloween snow storm! I am sure you had part of that too Mike? Oh, before I go, should I give them any epsom salts or vinegar now, or when I first fertlize over the weekend? Thanks guys! Christy...See MoreJust got a sick tree from Four Winds
Comments (14)Pip The New Zealand lemonade tree yo gave me is doing well. There is physically not enough room in our house for even one citrus tree and all of them will go in ground permanently this spring. My greenhouse setup can go all winter without heat as long as the temps stay above 0 F. I used low-E double glass sealed window and top coated it with clear bubble wrap. It holds heat much better on clear nights and doesn't cook the plants on surprise 70 F sunny days. It appears to be the way to go in GH's 6b Steve...See MoreJust received Gold Nugget from Four Winds Growers
Comments (60)My GN from them that arrived maybe a couple of weeks before Stephen's is looking better. I got rid of the scale and it has grown new shoots that have now matured and are dark green. The leaves the tree came with were very deficient and it has dropped many. I still find it is dropping the old leaves almost daily. However, the new growth that it put out looks good so I think the tree is on its way to health. I do expect better from them. My bouquet de fleurs may be improving, but it was very light when I got it and seemed to get worse after being here for a while. I THINK it finally is on its way to health although it has not pushed out any growth other than the rootstock, which I removed....See MoreBergamot Sour Orange In Stock @ Four Winds
Comments (18)Yes, enablers for sure!! Lol. Susanne, the Nagami has a strong flavor that is not for the faint of heart. I equate it to eating a ray of sunshine ;-). My daughter and husband love them and probably ate 90% of the large load on my two trees. I ate some, but I did throw some in smoothies (they are very healthy). I have also seen recipes for pies that look good. I expect a large crop this year from my two large bushes. They are beautiful trees - especially when loaded with fruit. I have not tasted any other kumquat so I have no reference point. I will try to hold off and wait for Harris for the bergamot. My trees from Harris have grown very well. You guys are tempting me so much....:-)...See Morehobbyartisan (Saskatoon, SK Canada, 2b)
