Citrus General Discussion / Gold Nugget trees training in Spain
« on: February 25, 2017, 06:40:29 AM »
In the link below you can see how are trained Gold Nugget trees in Spain.
Although this technique is useful for any vigorous citrus variety.
It is based on inducing fruit through bending vigorous branches. It is called "palm tree training".
The video is not in English but is self explanatory. It shows how are trained through first, second and third year.

Citrus General Discussion / Pale green leaves in a sprouting graft
« on: July 11, 2014, 04:37:11 AM »
I don't know if it is usual or not in citrus, but a T-bud graft of Gold Nugget on Carrizo is showing excessive pale green leaves in my opinion.
Despite this, it is growing little by little.

Citrus General Discussion / My preferred grafting pocket knife
« on: April 23, 2014, 08:34:18 AM »
I am grafting several years now, and I have tried tons of grafting tools, and my preferred tool, well above the others, is this:



It has the advantages of a cutter and a pocket knife, always sharp and cheap, thinner blade than a knife, better for a flat cut.
The blade is longer and harder than a cutter blade but as sharp as it.
Does anybody use it?
