did you grow yrs in pots? what pot size were they in when fruiting started? mine are in 10" still to keep small sized (were 2, I chucked the 2nd last fall though), and I do fertilize with miracle grow and vigoro intermittently. they are on wicks, so continuous liquid feed and they are neither dry nor waterlogged ever. so grow nicely when outside. well, I guess mine will NEVER fruit, 'cause I am in the apt and I have to reduce its size to continue to grow it sort of dwarfed.. it looks good on the balcony as is, gives some shade to caladiums under it. now that I know how to grow it i'll just try to buy a calamondin already fruiting as a small indoor plant: they often have them in Chinatown here. I killed my first one . correction ;)..scale ate it while I was on winter vacation..:(( but the seed was from it's fruit.

I have done grafting on 6 month or older seedlings of citrus and other species of plants. Depends on the availability of scion and rootstock sometimes. With a good scion in hand if I don't have rootstock for it, I will just graft it on some grafted tree temporarily and save the scion material.

Thanks for the reminder! Since they have a new website, I had to get it to reactivate my account on their new site. Thankfully the system found my account info. Edit to add - Looks like both sizes of ST are sold out! Villafranca only has entry level left and Vaniglia Sanguigno only has premiums. NZLs are still there (got one...lol).
