Citrus General Discussion / Re: Yuzu Fingerlime cross
« Last post by kulasa on Today at 12:32:30 PM »
I have a seed grown finger lime that turned 4 in January. It has flowered and fruited the first time this month. I can't wait to see what the inside is. Purple caviar would be nice if I can't have a seedless one lol I know, I know, wishful thinking. I also have a seed grown key lime that appears to not have seeds. The most seeds I have seen in a fruit (if there's any), since it started fruiting (3rd season now I think) was 2.

Seems like everyone is sold on the Jamaican mamey.

Where did every one get the info about that variety?

Isn’t c-35 rootstock highly incompatible with any type of eureka? If so why am I finding all these trees here at big box stores with them grafted together?  Am I wrong or do they not care and are just trying to make money? How long does it take to show incompatibility? Their grafts look really good so I’m just wondering.

I’m pretty sure I’m having this problem now so thanks for posting this. In my case it took about 3 years to start showing incompatibility, manifesting as just refusing to grown any leaves above the graft and constantly pushing out suckers. Very frustrating that a big nursery would do this.
Thank you for sharing how long it took for this to happen. it is frustrating.

Thanks guys!
Yes, the maple tree roots are a problem, they break the surface of the greenhouse floor in several places. 

But at this point removing it is not an option. To clarify, it is only one tree.  It is 70 years old, and absolutely ginormous.  It keeps the greenhouse cool in the summer and is home to several sets of squirrels and a pair of screech owls.

We had three trees cut down to make room for the greenhouse, but even if we cut down our maple tree, there are still the neighbors tree roots. We have a pretty small yard, and the greenhouse takes up half of it.

The property line is just past the maple tree, and six feet to the right of the greenhouse. The rhodies you can see on the left are right up against the house. So yeah, it is pretty tight back there!

I guess I will see what happens!

Cheers, Carolyn

Have 100s of cherimoya seeds sprouting mostly pierce, booth and dr.white
Let me know if anyone needs them…

Curious as to what method are you using to sprout them?

Thanks

just cleanup thoroughly no pulp or sweet (to avoid mold).. soak in warm water for 24+ hrs, (using heat mat) then placed in warm area, it took around 3-4 weeks

Awesome Greenhouse Brian! I’m about 15 min north of Philly, and have been considering building something similar ahead of next winter. This past winter I had everything (~50 citrus/tropical) in grow tents in my detached garage. But everything will be too big by next winter. Did you build it yourself? Any specs you could share? Incredible stuff!

Great video eyeckr, I literally created an account after watching it!

It would be awesome to get a seedless finger lime

While it's always possible (there are many mechanisms for seedlessness), it's worth noting both yuzu and finger line are pretty seedy, so that's not something to expect from crossing them. But when you cross such distant relatives you sometimes get unexpected results! That was really the point, the possibility of unexpected things. I certainly wouldn't expect their hybrid to be seedless.
