Citrus General Discussion / Re: Xie Shan Satsuma Trees

3-5 year is not bad at all!!!!

Excellent news! Obtaining seeds should be much easier than getting a tree in AZ. Besides, growing seeds is very entertaining to me. A Mexican Lime I grew from seed 2 years ago just gave me the 1st lime.

Thanks for all your info!

I agree that exemptions should be given Millet.

So if i were to grow a Xie-Shan from seed, what rootstock should I transfer it to and how long would I have to grow the original seeds before transferring?

I've had xie shan on my wish list for 2 years!! Unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere in Arizona!

Do xie shan satsuma grow true to seed? If so, maybe I could plant some since i can't import any citrus into AZ.

I've given up on Cuties in my area! They were so good at the beginning and now you get one good bag for 5 bad ones. I am amazed at how consistently insipid or bad they are. Definitely not the case with navels, blood oranges, cara cara, Gold nuggets, etc - just the cuties.

I wish I could get a xi shan here in AZ. I haven't been able to find it anywhere here and we can't import citrus!

Millet,

The root cap goes on top, but what I am looking for is the gray/white fabric you sent me that goes on the bottom. Do you order the root barrier fabric and then cut it to size?

My trees are doing GREAT! I put them in my first ever greenhouse this winter and they grew the entire winter! My greenhouse was a huge success!!! It is heating up, however, so I converted it back to a shade house. I will have my first ever, home-grown Ruby Grapefruits, Sanguinelle Blood Orange, cara-cara and Gold Nugget Mandarin. All the trees have golf ball sized fruit on the tree already. My Mexican Lime grown from seed is blooming for the 1st time in its young life as well.

Hope you are doing great as well Millet!

Hello Millet,

You gave me a sample of the 18' roll along with root trapping material last year. Since then, I have purchased multiple items from Rootmaker; I am a BIG fan! For the life of me, however, i can't find the root trapping material you sent along the the rootmaker 2 roll. What is it called on rootmaker.com? I don't want to purchase a roll without first knowing the name of the fabric that goes underneath it.

Also, did you notice they changed the height from 18' to 17"? I wonder why they did that? They use to give you the option of 18" and 21" or something like that. Since we plant citrus that will eventually get big, I don't like that they made them even lower.

best,

Robert

Does anyone know of a reputable place to buy Feijoas? All i'm finding online is on Amazon, but the descriptions are a bit vague.

I tasted this fruit for the first time and absolutely LOVED the taste! I actually grew the seeds and now have 4 little seedlings. I didn't know they'd take so long to give fruit and I didn't know i needed a cross pollinator.

Hopefully I get fruit sometime because they'd definitely be worth waiting for!!

Will an avocado grown from a pit give fruit? I've read mixed opinions...
