Citrus General Discussion / Mexican citrus called "mango"?
« on: July 02, 2016, 05:01:13 PM »
I've got some workers here at my place and had them help me plant several citrus yesterday.  He was impressed with all the variety of fruit I grow and asked me if I had a citrus with mango flavor.  He said in Mexico there is a citrus they call "mango" as it tastes like mango.  It has something of a reddish pigment.  He brought it up as we planted a Cara Cara.

Citrus General Discussion / Replacing rootstock on mature Fukomoto?
« on: May 01, 2014, 04:25:21 PM »
I have a friend with a small commercial orchard of Fukumoto.  I forget what rootstock that was used, but it's one that was later determined to have poor compatibility with Fukumoto.  His orchard is at least 10 years old and he replaces some trees completely each year when the tree health is very compromised.  Is it feasible to plant a new rootstock next to the existing trees and do an approach graft?  I'm guessing he might not get this sort of advice from a nursery since they'd prefer to sell a new tree.  I couldn't find any discussion of this online. Thanks.
