Saint Michael Paperrind Orange
« on: August 26, 2014, 10:01:53 PM »
Mark after you asked me about how my Saint Michael Paperrind Orange tree was doing, I made it a point to look at it today.  There are two main branches flushing at this time.  Each have flushed up 3-4 inches, and still growing. I think I will heat and light the tree throughout the winter months, which should cause the tree to produce two or even three extra flushes.  Thank again for giving me the tree. - Millet

That's great Millet. I have two and they seem to be doing well, but I'm sure they are much smaller than yours. I'm going to do my best to keep them going to maturity. I can't even find a color photo of the fruit. Just old drawings and some ancient black and whites.

At one time Saint Michael Paperrind oranges were one of the largest varieties grown.  Over the years other varieties took their place.  Today vary few people have the Saint Michael growing.  Will be special to bring our seedlings to maturity, and fruiting. - Millet
