bklyn I do plant peaches and apples in pure topsoiless clay areas of my yard. They have done very well. My apples are on mm11 rootstock. The apples are also almost heat and drought proof. All 4 of my Poncirus trifoliata are in pure hardpan clay. They are deep green. The PT trees are on the north side of my 3 story house and shaded from the east by a 2 foot pear tree. The tree in the video was planted in heavy clay loom yard dirt 50% and home made compost 50%, not pure clay. All my trees are on Seville sour, Flying dragon, Poncirus Trifoliata on Seville sour, US897, or own roots. Those rootstock do very well in hard wet clay soils. I will try a bunch of seeds this fall in clay soil and see what it does. I do have 1 NZL grafted to an NZL seedling. Steve

It took 6 for 1 and 12 weeks for the other bud to grow

my Fukushu kumquat tree just turned 2 years old. Its Flying dragon rootstock was 1.5 years old at the time of grafting. I am conditioning the tree for indoors living for the winter.

Smothies, Good idea My 2 Fukushu kumquats are seed grow and were very different growing from the start. This one has sour fruits. The other one I gave to a friend who gave it back, too big. He liked his fruits I do not have any fruits from his tree yet. Rootstock may make a difference. His fruits were the same size. My Meiwa kumquats are less than an inch when ripe. It might be climate. They too are on their own root and produce sweet fruit throughout when totally ripe. I pick mine when there is some green mixed in for some twang in the taste.
