Thannks. Hopefully the weather clears up soon. I need to paint the trunk and i'm sure this rain isn't so great on it...I wanted to graft alot lower but the sunburn on the trunk was too severe and the bark was lifting/flaky
Will see how these go.
Nice, good luck
It seems you can *definitely* fruit grafted pummelo in a container. My scraggly chandler pummelo that nearly died a few times made its first full size fruit. It was delicious. Not anything like I was expecting from store bought pummelos which are usually dry flesh, this was extremely juicy but still sweet despite not coloring upCongrats.
and because I can't resist MSPaint, here's how the whole tree/container/fruit looked together while it was hanging
You'd be amazed at how many plants you can cram into a large cossover or SUV. My Prius V fit 1 15-gallon, 8 5-gallon and numerous smaller plants plus our luggage. Definitely load up at Exotica, lots of smaller plants that you can easily fit.We somehow fit our luggage from a week long trip to SoCal, a couple trees and many plants in a corolla a couple years back... Make sure to bring trash bags to tie the pots if leaning sideways...
learned that the hard way
For the mandrin graft Kishu if you really like mandrin taste. For the lemon pull the Meyer up, throw it out and plant a good Eureka.....😁I actually like my meyer in lemonade. I got 200+ lbs of fruit from my small tree. I just want to add variety and am enjoying grafting.
Wow, am just drooling.I have these plates too.. I think I bought them at target when I moved out 10 years ago... haha.
My Sharwil is about to explode in blooms. Great fruit in all respects. It also hangs on the tree a long time.
Love the small seed too!
Low of 21F this morn.
I had that plant that died way out away from where we usually go and it was the last sprinkler. The last sprinklers on the line always have issues.Mine too stay green all year long but it's full of little fruits in the winter that never mature. I can't remember what variety of edulis mine is. I got a Lilikoi cutting from brad a while back that's put on alot of growth but had alot of dieback this winter. Good to see yours flowering, they are gorgeous. I may be interested in one of your ruby glow passionfruits this year if my lingularis from seed doesn't make it, that's an awesome flower.
On my big vines that are established, I put the hose on a drizzle and leave it there for several days at a time to really soak the dirt good.
Good luck with the fruits, that was an impressive turnaround time from cutting to fruit. Once it gets large feed it accordingly, they will use a lot of food if its putting out a lot of fruit.
Also these stay green here all year so it seems fairly cold hardy. You can probably plant it outdoors there.
I notice that most all of the tree's fruit production is limited to the bottom section of the tree, with very little production in the higher portion. Also the tree seems to be very dense and compact with little sun able to enter into the center of the tree. If It was my tree I would cut out the thick rapid, elongated, growing branches. Most likely water spouts.This is the first year I let any branches on the tree get tall. That's probably why it's all in the bottom. New growth in the top is flowering now.
