four winds citrus quarantine update
Comments (6)I am such a fan of Bayer Crop Science products, I could be a salesman. Florida Ag as well recommends Imidacloprid, as do my citrus gurus from Texas A&M. All my Meyers get Imidacloprid twice per year; and while I might WISH that it killed bees, I never have any shortage of wild bees pollinating my trees. Why do I wish it might kill the bees?? No bees, no seeds. I have played with the idea of putting hives to make Meyer lemon honey; but I already have too many bees for my workers' safety. Here's a dirty little secret... In Argentina, the biggest exporter of Eureka lemons in the world, they put lots of bees in their lemon groves...more bees, more seeds; and the seeds are heavier than the fruit... great "plan?" if you are selling lemons by the pound. I sell my Meyers by quality; and I have nothing at all against bees; I only wish there were less of them, at least in my lemon groves....See MoreFour Winds Growers
Comments (26)Benny, you certainly are correct in changing you grade to A+, probably whould actually be A++. 4-Winds Growers are certainly one of the very top retailers of quality citrus trees in the United States of America. Their trees, and more especially their customer service is unsurpased. No company stands behind their product better than 4-Winds Growers. I have never heard of anywone who had some kind of difficulty with them, that was not taken care of 100 percent. As far as their trees being bare root, who cares??? Most all small containerized trees shipped by on line nurserys come in the standard 4 X 4 X 14 inch "Tall One" grow pots. The proper method of transplanting these type of "container" trees is to shake the roots out free, and NOT just try to carefully transplant the container shaped root system. Besides usually a bare root tree has a larger trunk caliper and CERTAINLY a larger root system. BTW Benny, we are everyday eating all the Papaya's we can and giving away some to the "neighbors". Take care, glad to have you back. - Millet...See MoreWhat's up with Four Winds Citrus Growers?
Comments (14)Pip is correct. They will cater to their wholesale customers first. It is a known amount and is probably cheaper to ship to them than single customers. They can contract with large shipping carriers for a bulk price for delivery. In California they deliver on their own trucks. And they deliver hundreds of thousands of wholesale trees each year. For a single mail order customer they need to pick out one tree and prep it for shipping individually, and they probably pay a higher rate for shipping it, even if a few dozen are going to one customer's state. Unfortunately that's just how it is. Tim, pip is right there too. Four Winds can ship bare-root all year because the trees never are dormant like other fruit trees, and all they do is take a tree that has soil around it and wash off the soil, then pack it and mail it....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 More
