citrus budwood order from ucr ccpp - anyone interested?
Comments (7)Ali, if you go to UCR's CC PP site, you can see what budwood is being offered. I am planning on ordering Ugli Tangor, Valentine Pummelo and Xie Shan Mandarin. And haven't decided on other varieties yet. I have two other folks that want to split the Xie Shan with me. I have to place a minimum order of 12 budwood per variety, so I was hoping to split some of what I was planning on ordering so I didn't end up with 12 of one variety, since I really only want 3 or 4 budwood of each variety to graft with. I'd rather have more varieties and less #'s of budwood per variety since I'm a backyard orchardist and not a commercial grower. Patty S.

Comments (27)Thanks, Serge for contacting CCPP. It is getting harder and harder to get some of the more unusual citrus cultivars these days, with all of the efforts going to trying to manage citrus diseases. I'm going to have to contact CCPP to see if they ever procured a Shiranui source. They said they were working on it about 3 years ago, but haven't heard anything more about that. Wish that they would re-institute the Citrus Days at the UC Riverside Citrus Variety Collection orchard. That was a lot of fun, and very educational. Patty S....See MoreUCR Budwood: any suggestions?
Comments (6)Primosole Mandarin - Hybrid with Satsuma in the parentage which you don't typically see. Seedless, vigorous, productive, though does have a few issues. China S-9 Satsuma - Supposed to be the best from a group of selections that survived a bad freeze in China. Also a smoother peel than most other satsumas. Fukumoto Navel - Very early Navel, three to four weeks before Washington. New Zealand Lemonade - A sweet lemon that is not totally insipid like most types, good acid balance. Bergamot Sour Orange - The classic sour orange if you want to use citrus oil, a source of the signature flavor in Earl Grey tea. I would think this would be the orange to have if you want to do anything with citrus peel. Ugli Tangelo - Simply intriguing to me because it is a Tangelo from Jamaica where it yields sweet fruit with excellent flavor. Supposed to be acidic and lacking sweetness in non tropical climates though....See MoreQuestion for Silica
Comments (4)I'll just over look Mike's unpleasant post above, and say nothing. Vladimir, I didn't write to NOT bare root a tree, I wrote unless it is done with the UPMOST care and diligence to insure that the root system is not badly damaged in the process, bare rooting a tree will many times end in disaster. This is ESPECIALLY true for trees that have been growing in a container to long, and have become root bound or somewhat root bound, and for newer growers that don't have the expertise. Very loose mediums such as 5-1-1 which practically fall away when the tree is removed from the container can be easily bare rooted in most cases. It has been quite some time since I have purchased a tree from an actual grower, as almost every tree I grow is started from budwood, purchased through the UCR's budwood program. It is hundreds of times less expensive to use budwood from UCR, than purchase trees from a retail grower and then additionally have to pay the freight. Plus with UCR's budwood, three or more trees can be grown from one bud stick. I have in the past purchased trees from FW but they were shipped bare root packed in shredded cedar. However, to answer your question, If I received a tree shipped in a commercial type bark medium, I would soak it out in warm water over night and shake out as much of the medium as possible, and then repot it, but this has only occurred a couple times in the past as I rarely use retail growers.. Sorry I apparently missed your post....See MoreMonyet
