Tread for New Zealand lemonade tree pictures.
Comments (30)Bossy, very nice tree!! Sorry about the deer demolishing your citrus! We live in the country, surrounded by acres of fields and forests, and this area has always had a huge deer population.. They have a way of knowing what goodies you just planted.. They have demolished my gardens, newly planted orchards etc.. and will jump or trample any fence you put up.. sigh.. In the second picture, it looks like your tree has a nutrient deficiency. The leaves have that Christmas tree pattern.. I believe it is chlorosis.. It is a lack of uptakes of nutrients..Can someone correct me if am wrong? I just read about it recently . Let me see if I can find the link.....See MoreScent of New Zealand Lemonade Tree
Comments (9)nulesm Thanks for the picture and comments. My blossoms look exactly like yours and are pretty in their clusters. Before seeing this tree bloom, I didn't pay too much attention to the differences in shapes and sizes of the blossoms on my trees. This NZL's flower petals give the impression of being thicker. The circle of anthers seem to be wider in diameter and shorter than my other trees' blossoms. Now I want to go outside and compare each variety that have blossoms against each other. I just took the blossoms for granted and knew there was a possibility fruit growing. From this experience, I realized the blossoms are just as different as the fruit....See MoreNew Zealand lemonade trees on US897 and Seville sour orange year 2019
Comments (36)Bob I think that most people get to many varieties and burn out on the associate problems and end up quitting. I know of several past people who lost power to their green house and lost 30 to 40 trees. They looked for more trees with advice from us and then left. These trees are expensive. If I decide to quit citrus I will let you all know and why. When I first started I posted a lot with picture and a lot of other people got mad and they let me know in very rude ways. I am still here and Better than 15 of them are gone. It is too bad because they were a real asset to the group Jay We eat them like an orange or mandarin. Gave away 1 each to 4 closest friends. It is well worth growing. I have eaten 45 fruits total from 3 different trees. Steve...See MoreTwo New Zealand lemonade seedlings
Comments (7)I am very limited on space both inside and outside in ground so I decided to stick with Meiwa kumquats. I received the other citrus varieties as gifts and have found that the NZL is worth growing. After all my original Meiwa seedlings died, Cory gifted me with 2 seedling Fukushu kumquats and a grafted Meiwa. My 4 seed grown Meiwa trees are from seeds from the grafted Meiwa. I had decided to quit on citrus and decided not to when some people offered trees they had extra. None of my original trees are alive anymore. It was a long learning curve where I lost over 300 citrus seedling. I had learned how but was done growing citrus. I now have 5 Meiwa 2 fukushu, 3 NZL, and a valentine pomelo. These are all varieties I cannot purchase at the store or market. I have not lost a tree since the learning curve ended. Steve...See Moreponcirusguy6b452xx
