NEED: Chocolate smelling and tasting plants
Comments (1)Being a sedum nut....I just have to point out , in case it wasn't a typo, that it is 'sedum'. What type of plants do you have for trade ?...See MoreMeyer lemon and orange tree
Comments (2)Lemon Plants have a mind of their own. They can be very frustrating and with the exception of the bad leaves ect you are experiencing exactly what a lemon plant will do. They will only cary to fruitation what the plant is programmed to bear. It may have a thousand blooms in clusters and all the blooms will drop all but maybe 10 and then only probably three will mature as growing lemons. The insect problem needs to be taken care of.You seem to be watering and feeding correctly.Its just the weird life of a Lemon tree. Some years they will bear profusley the next year they will drop all fruit. Just keep trying, you'll eventually succeed. Get rid of the bugs and give your plants a lot of sun...Good Luck ,you'll never taste a better lemon than a MEYER....See MoreWhat Do Lemon Blossoms Smell Like?
Comments (38)Essential oils of blossoms are not always going to smell like the real fresh flower, and sometimes it can be better and more practical to get artificial blossom fragrance, although that of course depends on what the flower is, and the quality of the artificial fragrance. Citral, a tiny hint of some type of ionone, and neryl acetate, would be used to simulate the smell of lemon blossom. Maybe with a little calendula added (which naturally contains germacrene). There's also a product called rhodinol, which is isolated from natural pelargonium, which is a specific form (stereoisomer) of citronellol, which is lemony and reminiscent of wildflowers, sharp and astringent, probably would also be good added in there for realism....See MoreWhat do kumquats taste like? Home Depot has 3 gal on sale for $8 bucks
Comments (24)kumquat is more like a "survival" food, if you found them growing in nature you could eat them, but it's kind of on the borderline of something you would want to eat. But I think the same thing too about mulberries, so you might want to keep this in perspective. With kumquats, you eat the whole thing, peel and all. The peel is very thin, of course, but it does add a great degree of tartness. kumquats are probably something you would eat 2 or 3, or maybe 9 of, and then you have had enough. It can make for a nice backyard ornamental, knowing the little fruits it produces are edible. But it's really nothing like an orange or tangerine. In terms of tartness, I might compare it to a Meyer lemon. Sure you can eat a Meyer lemon, but how much do you really want to eat? Kumquats tend to be for the more adventurous, and I would say only about half of people who try kumquat think it is good for snacking on. I personally find it has some nice flavor, but I would only want to eat enough just to get a taste of it. If I saw a tree growing I might pick 2 or 3 (they are very small), but I probably would not buy it at the supermarket....See MoreRelated Professionals
