mrtexas:
Xie shan fruit in SE Texas already
sweet enough to eat.

Millet:
Phil, in south Texas has Xie Shan's peel already turned color, or is it still green (satsumas can mature before color change). Mine here in Colorado (greenhouse) are large enough but still very green.  I should try one and see how it is.  Xie Shan is one of the earliest citrus to become eatable.

I start tasting when still green and fruit is soft. Fruit can be ready when green. I had hopes these fruit would be good quality but it is not turning out that way. I fertilized early so I got a good bloom but the fruit is puffy and dry anyway. Tree is 3 years in ground. I am 500 miles north of South Texas in SE Texas!

Millet:
I picked a 100 percent green Xie Shan today, to test the taste.   Not quite ready, the fruit was about 80% mature.  Still a couple weeks.

Anyone know any mail order nurseries that carry Xie Shan? Or does anyone have any seeds they could send me?
