Comments (18)Mr. Akins is definitely a citrus old timer, especially when it comes to cold hardy stuff. I visited with him several years ago at his home. I went to check out his citrus (including the impressive Thomasville TREE in his yard), but left there wanting to plant jujubes, mayhaws and several other non-citrus plants. At the time he was preparing an order for Jerome Black (Oregon Exotics). If you remember the company, they offered all types of cold-hardy citrus and other unusual stuff. As it turns out, they got much of their stock from Sibley, Louisiana -- until Jerry flew the coop and shut his business down....See MoreTread for New Zealand lemonade tree pictures.
Comments (30)Bossy, very nice tree!! Sorry about the deer demolishing your citrus! We live in the country, surrounded by acres of fields and forests, and this area has always had a huge deer population.. They have a way of knowing what goodies you just planted.. They have demolished my gardens, newly planted orchards etc.. and will jump or trample any fence you put up.. sigh.. In the second picture, it looks like your tree has a nutrient deficiency. The leaves have that Christmas tree pattern.. I believe it is chlorosis.. It is a lack of uptakes of nutrients..Can someone correct me if am wrong? I just read about it recently . Let me see if I can find the link.....See MoreNew Zealand Lemonade Tree
Comments (27)Hehe Alanna, your post made me smile. You certainly get a lot of exercise. No, my trees stay out until first frost or I should say I watch what happens after the first frost. If there are warmer days and nights to come, I will just move them to the wall of the house and cover with fleece. When they are in the house, they will stay until next spring. Most are too heavy to move around. Mine will stay in the mudroom with lots of extra light and they will continue to grow during winter. I expect them to flower and set fruit during that time. Hoping I don't have to move them in before end of october....See MoreNew Zealand lemonade trees on US897 and Seville sour orange year 2019
Comments (36)Bob I think that most people get to many varieties and burn out on the associate problems and end up quitting. I know of several past people who lost power to their green house and lost 30 to 40 trees. They looked for more trees with advice from us and then left. These trees are expensive. If I decide to quit citrus I will let you all know and why. When I first started I posted a lot with picture and a lot of other people got mad and they let me know in very rude ways. I am still here and Better than 15 of them are gone. It is too bad because they were a real asset to the group Jay We eat them like an orange or mandarin. Gave away 1 each to 4 closest friends. It is well worth growing. I have eaten 45 fruits total from 3 different trees. Steve...See MoreSammers510
