Is Dekopon An Alternate Bearing Variety

(1/1)

Millet:
Is Dekopon an alternate bearing variety? My Dekopon tree produced it first real crop last year, The tree has already produced its first 2017 flush of new growth with only 3 or four blossoms.  One of Dekopon's parents is Ponkan, which is an alternate bearing variety. .

RyanL:
Yes it is. Mine do the same. Through thinning you could probably reduce its impact.

LaCasaVerde:
No blooms at all  this year for me  after a heavy load last year.

Millet:
I picked my last two Dekopon fruit today.  Since the variety is alternate bearing, next years crop should be a small crop. Guess I need a second Dekopon tree in order to get a good crop every year.
