Beautiful trees you have there...Best of luck with them! I planted a Nagami Kumquat and a Meyers Lemon just last Spring, they've been in pots for 4-5 years prior to that. I decided to plant them in the ground to replace a couple of lychee trees and Mango from our brutal winter. I watered them every other day for the first week (this will depend on how hot your weather is right now)...then slowly tapered off to twice a week in a couple of weeks...then once a week. I also use Vigoro Citrus and Avocado timed-release from HD...once every two to three months at lower amounts. I prefer to feed a little more often (but half the amount). Dwarf Meyer Lemon Nagami Kumquat I prune them once or twice a year to maintain a Dwarf size...short but wide frame. I don't like my fruit trees to get tall and lanky, its harder to maintain them when they get too tall, plus its much easier to pick the fruits too. Here is a link that might be useful: Vigoro Citrus and Avocado Fertilizer

It's possible that the out of season bloom time is a one time occurence in a newly planted witchhazel. More likely, though, is that the plant became mislabeled in the nursery and you have h. vernalis rather than h. virginiana.

You should go to the building department after you talk to a qualified licensed landscape contractor he could give you some specific violations if any and suggest solutions like some fast-growing bamboo or something to block the lights. The cost of growth sometimes is painful, try and embrace it maybe the new owner will want to share in the bounty of the citrus?, also they are entitled to do as they want on their property as you are. That rule is violating them by where your citrus trees were planted.

Yes, i still do have that Page and it is blooming again now. Xie- Shan also top 5, Decopan ofcourse, Have 2 Meyers produces well, Dream Navel and Red navel(Cara-Cara) a keeper. S/T has some bloom now have 2 of them, 2 Valentina's no bloom yet. The rest are small graft are Gold series Mandarins, Pomelo's Thong Dee, Lee-Nova 3 or 4. mandarins and a few others. My research done on these by word of mouth from people that are growing them. Yes i have eaten them and also my wife ratings and also friends and neighbors. I like to give mine but also others opinions. Forgot my seedgrown kumquat tree, 6 feet tall, might have some fruits this year. Thanks Laura, always great of your opinions on taste!
