LCV your Dekopon posts are again another excellent post. I also have two Dekopon trees, one in the ground (3 years old) and one in a 13 gallon container. The in ground tree is approximately the same size as the tree in your very first picture. It has been grown all of its life in a large greenhouse, and lit with a 250 Watt Metal Halide light from dust to 10:00 PM during the winter months, promoting extra flushes of growth. This past spring was the tree's first real flowering and setting of fruit. For the first cropping the tree set 13 fruit, and like yours, all 13 have remained. Not one was discarded. As with your tree, the fruit on my in ground tree are also just now starting to turn yellow. All fruit, except for one, are large, typical to the variety. My second tree has always been grown as a container plant. It is the same age as the in ground tree, only smaller in size (2'ft), and is producing 7 fruit. My guess is that I am growing at much the same temperatures and humidity as central Florida. The lowest temperature during the winter months inside the greenhouse is 50-F. I have not given any support to any of the branches on either tree. The trees seem to produce branches strong enough to support the weight of the fruit. I'll keep an eye on the tree as it grows into a large tree. I have planed to let the fruit remain hanging on the tree, until late February or early March. Probably will pick a first fruit in late February for a taste test. If sweet enough, I doubt that I will store them 20 or so days to sweeten up. I'll just have to see. Some observations about Dekopon: No leaf drop, not bothered much by insects, so far zero fruit drop, more or less a trouble free tree. When searching the Internet for Dekopon information, I also came accross the same web site that you posted above. Would be nice to visit the Dekopon growing areas of Japan, and talk to the growers of the fruit, as they have the most experience of any in the world about Dekopon. Further, as with your trees, I also have an in ground Ponkan mandarin. It has too many fruit to count, and so far none have started to turn color. Perhaps I should have thinned them out some, in order to get fruit of larger size, not sure, as they are still growing. BTW, Mr. Texas (Houston area), who also posts on this site, has build small greenhouse around some of his trees to protect from winter cold. Thanks for sharing.- Millet
