Young 'Oro Blanco' Grapefruit Tree
Comments (3)Hey going2bbotanist, I would be curious myself to know how bibg this tree is as well. Also, like citrus boy said, check the moisture level down about3 3" or more to see how moist the ground is at that depth. I would also check the meter as you go down in the soil at 1", 2", even 4" if it goes that far. BTW, cheap moisture level meters can be had for under $10.00 easy and would be a good investement if you don't have one. YOu also may want to check for moisture at vatious points of the tree to make sure you are watering evenly. I would also suggest that you check at least every other day the moisture levels until the problem gets resolved (maybe even every day since you are in AZ). If you can snap a picture and post it on the fortum here as well that would be helpfull too. Just my 2 cents :) VTY -Mark...See MoreNew Oro Blanco
Comments (23)This is a 6 year update to my Oro Blanco on macrophylla rootstock. This is the first year that this tree has produced juicy fruits. Every year prior I have had nothing but dry fruits. The crop is exceptional this season and I credit my new fertilizer regime that I started last spring. I added foliage fertilizer with micro nutrients and almost all my trees have had bumper crops this year. The tree is literally bending under the weight of all the fruit it’s holding sorry for the upside down pics. Evan...See MoreOro blanco question...
Comments (19)Ok, thank you. That is probably not a tree for me then!! I am so jealous of all you guys that live where citrus can be planted outdoors. I grew up in South Florida and Cuba, so I remember. I planted a Glen mango years ago at my parents house that is now a huge tree. I barely got to taste the mangos before we moved away. Whenever I visit S.Florida I drive by their old house to see "my" tree. Oh well....I guess potted is better than nothing!...See MoreAnyone grow Oro Blanco in a container?
Comments (28)You guys are not kidding! It's one of the best tasting citrus I ever tasted and I don't eat the fruit!lol Have you noticed too that the fruit hangs on an extra long bare stem? It's odd but I like it.... I'll take a pic of my sickly ;looking one soon...It needs some work..I ignored it for quite some time. At least it got full all day sun all winter. It's probably what kept it going.....See Moreevdesert 9B Indio, CA
