Stopped by Stan's today.
« on: October 13, 2018, 04:30:15 PM »
He lost his entire satsuma grove last winter. Said he dropped to 8F. He's still selling citrus trees & has his veggy stand running.

Its sad that something like that happened to such a nice guy.  Guess at temperature as low as 8F, Stan's mini spray system was not enough to save his trees.  I probably will see him at this years Southern Citrus Expo in Valdosta, GA.

Real sorry to hear that he lost them all.  I had talked to him early in the year, and he was not sure how much damage was done, but he didn't sound too optimistic. Stan is such a great guy to talk to and do business with. He has helped me a lot in my endeavours.

Interestingly, the Winter on the West Coast was unusually mild. Up in the PNW it never got below freezing the whole month of December.

Sorry to hear of Stan’s loss. I still have one of his Kimbrough satsumas with fruit on it; maybe I’ll bring some to the expo. Laaz, did his Ichang lemon and citrumelos survive?
