Wishing Bomand the best.
I would advise against nippon orangequat, it isnt a good variety compared to a true kumquat or true mandarin/orange Fukushu, marumi, or meiwa kumquats are tastier... but still wont survive really low temps outside.
I have a Bearss lemon cutting that is holding a fruit now, I'll have to get a photo tomorrow.
I agree with Laaz. If the bud stick was a mature stick, then blooms should show the following year.
The hedge blade must first form a sufficiently large root system (which is much faster with seedlings), and sufficient and stable branches that can bear fruit. When this happens, they will flower and produce fruit. I assumes that they need additional 2-3 years
LBurford, you are currently having a lot of citrangequat seedlings and a 6 year-old citrangequat tree. I've just wondered why you wished to buy more?
LBurford, you should not disturb the graft node at all after it was done until normally about 6 weeks later. If you use some type of durable string or durable band, then you need to remove it after about 6 weeks; however, with parafilm you don't need to because it will expand itself as the graft union expands and at some point it will either deteriorate by the sunlight or will be broken by the over expansion of growth in diameter.I am almost sure its parafilm I bought. I got it off amazon a couple of years ago. It is almost clear, waxy and will stretch. Once it's wrapped tightly is sticks together and is almost impossible to unwrap off the graft after it stays on for a while.
Rubber band might take longer to deteriorate but will finally break down itself under direct sunlight. It was just a reference for future grafting. We don't need to over tighten the graft uinon. If your graft was about 6 weeks old, you can carefully remove it (optional), but if it was less than that, you should leave it alone. I could not tell what type of grafting tape you used under the rubberband, if it was PVC tape then you need to remove it after 6 weeks because PVC grafting tape will last for years and hinder diameter growth.
