I bought a Mr.minh tree from Adam and it is doing very well here in Arkansas. In march i got sionwood from Frank,Randhir, Pink mammoth and Arka sahan. I grafted them on my Mr. Minh, they all took but they are staying small due to weather changes from high 70's to mid 60's. Hopefully weather get a little warmer soon.

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Last year for my xie shan
« on: April 06, 2017, 12:36:07 PM »
I bought a xie-shan from Harris and is going in the 4th season.Last summer i had to prop-up this little guy because it had way too many fruits. How does it taste, well it is a keeper for sure. Friends who had tasted, rave about it,ofcourse me too.
My grafted Decopon tree look almost the same as the X/S in size and it has a lot of small fruits now. Page is hard to beat.

« on: March 11, 2017, 04:49:10 PM »
Did my first citrus grafts a week ago.4Tiny Decopan sions on Flying Dragon rootstock. Look at the grafts just now and they still look green.
Did several pluots 3 years ago and they are pretty good size tree's now and are now blooming, they probably going to get sapped by this cold front.These sions were also mini's(1/8")

My added electric usage is a whole lot less than you think. My average electric for the winter month run about $86.00 without the basement lights.
Most those shoplights are 48 inch LED's the rest are t-8's which add about $11.00 extra. Bill for december month is $ 101.00.

When it comes to sub-tropicals i am going out of my way. I should have retired in the tropics. My Asian persimmon helps me a lot killing the pain.
30 tree's ain't bad.

I do grow about between 20 and 30 tree's and about a dozen are R/B"s.
Giombo is actually better tasting. Sayo is about the same.
