Citrus Trees in the GTA
Comments (3)looks like u r hooked :) try Terra in early spring . they order a shipment from recordbuckfarms. humber nursery also has citrus n theirs is from Monrovia or four winds but they r expensive. in July both Terra n humber have sales but by then only the really large trees r left. + keep scouting last spring jadegardens had some nice kumquats but this year they had no citrus . similarly few years back I found some great fourwind trees of all the places at CDNtire. as for mail order. u already know flora exotica. therez tropic.ca, treeeater, phoenix perennials (they just posted in another thread) , greenbarnnursery. ca. herez a kijiji listing of a local landscaper in etobicoke. his r new grafts so they r small but he has some interesting varieties .http://www.kijiji.ca/v-indoor-decor-accent/city-of-toronto/preorder-your-living-decor-fragrant-and-beautiful/1178139729 dev...See MoreSpring citrus orders- what are we on the hunt for this season??
Comments (96)Thank you for sharing, Steve! One week for citrus seed to germinate is pretty amazing. I had a few citrus seeds germinate in just under two weeks. Vladimir, Thank you. I was under the impression, after doing some previous research, that kumquats come true from seed since they are polyembryonic. I also read somewhere on the net that a polyembryonic variety will produce at least one plant identical genetically to the mother plant. After reading your post, I did a bit more research and found conflicting reviews and advice. I wonder if I have a chance that maybe at least one seedling will be like the mother plant, depending on the number that germinate. I guess kumquats do tend to do poorly on their own roots? Steve?? You have grown a lot of kumquats from seed. Can you refer me to one of your previous posts about how they did for you on their own roots. I think I remember that you had numerous Kumquat fatalities? Has anyone had success with growing a Nagami Kumquat from seed and that it was exactly like the mother plant? Did the fruit taste identical to a Kumquat? I guess it will be a fun and interesting project to learn from. I do still have a unknown citrus seedling that sprouted up from my compost pile in my potted banana plant....See MoreIs there a citrus tree shortage?
