I was supposed to attend the show, but changed plans at the last minute to attend another show. Sunkist always does interesting things! At the PMA in CA, they hired a professional chef who was giving away ceviche in flat bread that was incredibly good!!

Hello,

I just purchased an injector so i can fertilize my citrus with each watering. I am a little concerned because this is my first injector and i want to make sure i don't burn my trees! The injector I purchased is the EZ-FLO 2 gallon drip system. I am using Jack's Professional 25-5-15 high performance.

I am running the injector at 100:1

Mixing ratios for fertilizer:
1:100 (1%) setting    E.C.
100 ppm    =    5.4 oz.    0.57
200 ppm    =    10.8 oz.    1.14
300 ppm    =    16.2 oz.    1.71

Since this is a 2 gallon receptacle, I am mixing in 27 oz of fertilizer to make it 250 ppm. That seems like a ton of fertilizer!!!

I am building up the courage to finally turn it on! Any feedback would give me peace of mind and would be greatly appreciated!

I just ate the first fruits from my 3 year old golden nugget. The fruit was on the tree FOREVER!! My collection of citrus is all very young and i'm barely starting to get fruit; i must say i'm impressed at how much better it tastes than store bought fruit! My golden nugget was delicious, easy to peel and bursting with juice!! Proud of my little guy and can only imagine how good the fruit will be when tree matures.

I also ate my first Ruby red grapefruit and even though i don't really like grapefruit, it was incredible and not too acidic!

Can't wait for my cara cara and Sanguinelle blood orange that are almost ready...

Hello,

I'm curious if anyone had any thoughts as to what is wrong with my Feijoa Pineapple Guava? No new growth, color very light and many leaves are starting to look like they are about to fall off. The temps here are barely warming up, so i am not panicking, but something def looks wrong. My feijoa's in pots are a deep green and full of growth already. The interesting thing is that I had a Washington Naval orange tree planted where Feijoa is now that looked unhealthy, just like the Feijoa! I took it out, put it in a pot and now it's doing great.

I fertilized yesterday and the fertilizer has micro-nutrients; I'm hoping that helps!!!

Went back and found a post by Brian where he informed me the Meiwa is the shorter leaf and th nagami is the longer one.

Seems the nagami is thriving! That means my wife wins yet again 

I have a meiwa/nagami 2 in 1 tree and one of the two has taken off, while the other is slowing dying! Any thoughts as to why this may be happening and what I can do to save it?









HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Hope you are feeling much better Bob!!!

Fortunately, medical advances for heart issues have improved drastically!!! My grandpa, uncle and cousin are all cardiologist and my father is a professional patient: he has had a quadruple bypass surgery and 2 stints. He also gets occasional gout but completely controls it with a good diet. He actually feels way better than before the surgery, is very active and doing great!! No doubt you will make a complete recovery!

You are in my prayers.

Wow Millet - still keeping busy ey? I remember reading you were reducing the amount of trees because it was too much work.

I'm actually surprised you don't have a xie-shan in the ground being that it is your favorite variety.

congrats on your GH!!

correct - the biggest naval 

Anyone familiar with a variety called Allspice? Supposedly the fruit has a spicy aftertaste. I was intrigued by it and I purchased a very small tree from RSI Growers. It flushed all winter in my greenhouse and I can't wait until I get fruit.

when to switch to bigger air root containers is something i struggle with. I can't seem to understand the toothpaste analogy.

I was surprised to see Kumquats being sold in clam shells at my local grocery store. The taste is way to tart for me, but my wife absolutely loves them. My first and only casualty with citrus in 3 years has been a Nagami that I lost to WLD. I currently have a young meiwa/nagami 2-n-1 tree.

These kumquats I purchased are definitely not Nagami because they were much sweeter.

Millet,

So you've officially jumped ship from the CHC correct? I have also started using cedar mulch due to price and availability, but most of my trees still have the CHC based on your original recommendations and are all doing well!
