Citrus General Discussion / No White Grapefruit
« on: July 11, 2017, 05:54:55 PM »
For the longest time I have not been able to purchase a white grapefruit at the supermarket.  All they ever have any more is red.  Good thing I have a Seedless March grapefruit planted in the ground.  Presently it is still a semi-small tree, which does not produce a large quantity of fruit.  In just a couple years the tree should really pick up .

Blood Clementine from seed to fruiting 3 to 5 years.

If the new leaves are growing out without the brown center vain, but rather look normal, I would not worry about it much.

A grafted cutting is already mature wood capable of fruiting, all it needs is to grow a little height.

I take it you actually meant Oro Blanco (you wrote Pro Blanco).

Welcome to the citrus forum.  Nice having you as a member.

2684
Never seen symptoms as shown on your tree's leaves.  My impression is that it might be caused by something through root up take.  Have you applied anything different to the soil?

I have grown several lemons from seed.  The few that I grew never reached fruiting stage.  When I got rid of them they were approximately 3 feet high.  A seedling lemon has an almost straight up growth pattern.  What you read on FB was a fairy tale.

Marcin welcome to the citrus forum.  The First Canadian "lemon" is an exciting find.  Thanks for posting it.  Great post.

I've taken Colchicine for gout, the strength of the pill is 0.6 mg.   I do not know the strength needed for triplorid use, but one could dissolve enough pills.  As mentioned a lot of caution would be required when working with colchicine.

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: Citsuma Prague
« on: July 03, 2017, 08:51:28 PM »
I wonder if the Prague Citsuma that has incomplete flowers can be "pollinated" with gibbereillic acid the same way clementines are pollinated using gibberellic acid.

Any reading material on Dekopon that I have ever found is on the Internet, such as some o of he links shown throughout this thread.  Typing in the word Dekopon will of course bring up many articles..  I've never seen any info in book form.

patchofpentaphyllum in Florida you can purchase Dekopon (aka shiranuhi) from Harris citrus.  Just type in Harris Citrus into the Internet and you will easily find them.

Personally, I much prefer Marsh white grapefruit, left hanging on the tree until the month of March.

laidbackdood, always nice seeing you.  Just because the air is at 14C does not mean the soil at the root zone level  is at 14C.

Since you pee into your tree's pot, when you do as Laiedbackdood advised, where gloves.

Citradia, a good rule of thumb is--------The more hardy a citrus tree is the slower it is to leaf out in the spring.

Most citrus varieties are not pruned, but let to grow into their common round shape.  Dekopon is different.  In Japan Dekopon are trimed almost exactly as a peach tree is pruned.

HLB is not being controlled in China, or anywhere else as far as I know.  It is illegal to bring plants into this country.  That is how HLB got started in Florida.

HLB (citrus Greening)discovered in La Habra, Anaheim and Garden grove California   All put in quarantine.  I think the HLB finds in California will be showing up faster and faster.
