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 MoreA new Oro Blanco to my collection! Pic
Comments (15)Patty: More than helping with my trees, I thank you for your expertise and encouragement with my condition lately. You actually gave me a reason to smile this am and even a more reason to consider you a friend. I really appreciate you around these parts. Today is much better. I think it was a side effect of PT yesterday and it never occured to me that the Achilles's was going to cause this, me a Massage Therapist. Thanks for your advice:-) Yes, that is one awesome tree to say the least! I wish my Oro Blanco had come loaded with fruit like that.lol I actually had a bit of the fruit the last time my other tree provided me a few fruit and it did not bother me at all:-) Yes, no worries, you have plenty more where that fruit came from. Patty: FYI. Did you know that Four Winds has that contest every month? Yes, I think you could win one:-) Here is there number and ask Kerri to explain. She will fill you in:-) 1(877) 449-4637 then press 1 Andrew, nice surprise! Lol..I can't imagine you being a mad scientist, but you have on occasion chopped the limbs off of trees, ripped off the heads of a few bugs,tossed a sickly tree out in the dump, and certainly decapitated all the fruit on your Lemon trees.. Do you have a MG end sprayer? I usually fill one of those things up half way with FE, and let that container do the job. Once it fills with water from the hose, both the FE and water come out in a perfect ratio. Now is the time to spray Andrew. You need to treat at least 3-4 times every couple of days before they come inside. If your mite problem is very bad, you may have to take more desperate measures. But I think you will be ok if you start this weekend. Don't forget to drench especially under the leaves and the soil mix. You are SOOOOO right about the scent and flowers of the Oro! One huge flower open will fill the house and yard with fragrance, especially on a very humid morning or evening! Have you even considered a flowering plant like a Brunfelsia? Ok, we will not even go there..lol Mike...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 and Santa Teresa - healthy, but not growing
