This is the year the tree that hasn't had a single bloom in nearly 6 years decided to explode with flowers! Every branch looks like this! I know I will have a huge blossom and fruit drop but I just wanted to share a couple of pics! I should get a few fruit in about 9 months, right?

Oh my! Look! A bloom on my sempervivum...
Comments (2)Wow! :) Flowers look just like mine not long ago. I replied to your post in my thread with a link to some more updated pictures. Yes, the hen will die after it flowers but you should be able to get seeds after the flowers die off. The chicks will live on and become hens of their owns so you have no worries about losing all your sempervivums all at once. Enjoy what's to come. :)...See Morewhen to expect blooms on my orange tree
Comments (3)While some types of citrus (like meyer's lemons, kumquats, etc) are capable of blooming and producing fruit the first year while in the ground, many won't produce fruit for a few years even if they do bloom. To answer the question "What's up with the orange?" - there is most likely nothing wrong with your orange. This question actually pops up more than many. Almost all citrus is capable of blooming in their own pots when you buy them, because the root system has been established in the pots, and instead of excessively growing in the pot, it actually produces blooms and even fruit. However, when you plant the citrus in to the ground, it can take several (2-7) years before the plant starts producing fruits. This is because the roots have to grow and re-establish in the ground, enough to support top growth and blooming....See MoreMy calamondin orange tree not blooming!
Comments (2)Thanks justaguy! That's is what I figured...It is one that has never givin me a problem, even all winter, but dang if I can get it to blossom.. After all correct ways with growing this baby that I have learned from you all, it IS the nature of the beast... Nothing I am doing wrong.No magic potions, and high middle number fertilizers..lol Like buying an affectionate cat in the begining, then finding it wants nothing to do with you once mature, no matter how much treats you give it..lol Take care..:-)...See MoreMy Brug's oranger than your brug, my Brug's oranger than yours...
Comments (12)Hey Jeff, Could we have a mini lesson on Brugs at the fall swap? I know Joe won't be there - BOO!, but maybe Rebecca would be willing. I don't know much about them and would like to learn more. Mom and I were wondering today about that whole "Y" thing - why it's important, if you cut down below that point or above it, etc. I'll bet others would be interested too, particularly our friends further south.
