Citrus General Discussion / Flying Dragon and node count
« on: April 19, 2017, 02:43:29 PM »
Is Flying Dragon a quick tree to flower like Lime or a slower one.

Have bought a tree that is 120cm high (and probably 3-4 years old?).

What to expect in time to mature and set flowers/fruits?

Citrus General Discussion / Sunburn
« on: October 11, 2015, 02:55:08 AM »
Hi,

Shall you remove sunburned branches on a Lime tree? The damage was from I being careless when I moved them out in the spring sun without protection. The damaged braches are pencil think and half of the damaged branches are red/Brown/dead and half of these branches are still alive and have leaves from bottom to top.

If they have no prospect of proper recovery I will remove them, there are plenty of undamaged branches left.

Many thanks!

Joel

Citrus General Discussion / Grafting
« on: June 01, 2015, 04:05:02 PM »
I am trying to learn cleftgrafting of citrus now. I have PT as rootstock and Tarocco budwood. I have made some misstakes as removing parafilmtape too quickly.

The PT is around 8-15 inches long to the graft and pencil thick. My questions are:


1) Shall I remove all other leaves on the rootstock?

2) Shall I remove new growth on rootstock below the graft?

3) Shall I keep the plants in the sun?

4) Shall I have them outside (10-20 C night/day) or inside at around 22 C?


My previous grafts made it for avail but the was no new growth and the budwood slowly dried out.

//many thanks for help!
