Planning a cold hardy citrus shopping spree
Comments (20)It's better if you wait till spring to plant in ground. If you do it now, they will het stressed by the heat since their roots haven't setteld in yet. Then Winter comes while they're trying to recover.. The citrangequat is decent. I have one in 7b/8a that puts out a lot of fruit. a 5 year old tree from seed with 20-30 fruit. It flowered again last month, and set some more fruit. Decent limeish taste, and I do zero protection. For sour citrus, it does ok if you like limes. My wife is a lemon person so she doesn't partake. I tasted Changsha before as well, and it is also decent but get used to seeds. There is a seedless Changsha which might be out in a year or two from UGA. It's the best chance for sweet hardy citrus. I had a taiwanica but gave it to a coworker, as I have way too many citrus now. It has not fruited yet....See MoreI'm breeding new cold-hardy citrus varieties for zone 8
Comments (154)Herman, thanks for the update. It’s great to see fruit already. How large are the Conestoga 026 Segentrange and Poncirus Plus fruit? They look similar to PT…….or are they larger…….photos can be hard to judge. Great to hear 5* Citrumelo has some sweetness. Fruit ripens around Thanksgiving……but the size is clearly larger than PT…….a nice selection. Getting fruit in 3 years is very fast. I gave my brother who lives in Fairfax, VA a seed grown Citrumelo 12 years ago and it still hasn’t bloomed! Keep the updates coming....See MorePrague Citsuma not doing much
Comments (18)What a fall season: i had severe insect infestations this season indoors, still fighting fungus gnats. the fact that I side drill pots like steve has gnats running into the very bottom and sides since their elevated for drainage. Yellow stickers all over, just ordered mosquito bits, went through a case of peroxide. luckily no mites or scale, least its under control. Then right after fixing my basement ceiling and hanging new lights (to the day) my daughter drags a whole bunch of her problem plants down and put them in my space......I never got to properly arrange anything and got overcrowded temporarily and was treating her plants not setting up mine. Then I unknowingly created a hot spot when I extended grow area into a corner with interior brick walls, hitting near 100 degrees near the ceiling, leaf drop went crazy. I raised lights and pulled bulbs, moved plants around cut back light timers, played with the window and fan settings until I finally found equilibrium and now getting new growth. Compounding this almost all needed a repot which should have been done outside not inside when I had a hose. I may have two casualties a grafted morton and a miho wase that was roughly repotted....as far as the prague, one look at lauras and you can see that its spindly. A very vigorous trifoliate (or hybrid) rootstock that still goes dormant for a future cutting might be a valid answer as bob suggests. Right now I'm just hoping mine develops some more roots and gets through the winter....See MoreBrooklyn Spring
