Comments (3)TOO MUCH WATER This is almost alway a problem for us northerners because our trees must be able to take a few days with out watering on our hottest days. Here is what I do that works wonders and makes it possible to leave my tree alone for 4 days in upper 90F weather in the summer.Both tangerine trees are 49 weeks old from seed sprout. I use a shop vac plug into GFI now to protect from water that might drip from pot. My trees are also now permanently place on the vacuum chamber bucket for the cold season 'no setting up necessary". 10 seconds morning 10 seconds evening brings me close to my tree 2 times daily to catch problem while they are small. \vacuum chamber hold pot off cold floor. I mulch the surface to hold down evaporative cooling. A fan will do a fantastic amount to draw moisture from the leaves. This will draw much more on the water in the soil. Works best with leaves on the tree before they drop. Don't change your soil now but wait till spring and use what I am using to get you through the winter....See More9 Meiwa kumquat trees from seed

Meiwa kumquats are very hard to start. Today I ate my last 2 Meiwa kumquats and saved 10 seed to through outside in the 20F snow. I am not wasting any more time sprouting Meiwa seeds. Its a lot of work. Steve...See MoreHOWARD Martin
