finger lime

(1/4) > >>

lebmung:
This summer I made several experiments to induce early flowering in finger lime.
It seems like water stress and a solution of 1000 ppm KNO3 applied in the morning induces flowering in about 10 days during hot summer days, for a very young tree.

daytripper:
Getting a very young tree to flower is one thing, getting a very young tree to bear fruit is quite another.

lebmung:
Yes indeed in case of young trees. Still my findings can be a applied to a mature tree to increase flowering period.

Millet:
Its long been known that water stress of a citrus tree can make the tree flower.  It is done all the time with lemons.  However, I doubt that an application of potassium nitrate has much to do with flowering.

lebmung:
3 times application resulted in a bloom. The plants were also sparked with a mixture of hormones, but at different intervals.
