Citrus General Discussion / Dekopon Seeds- True to Parent?

« on: February 28, 2018, 08:22:22 PM »

Are Dekopon seeds true to the parent?
I have a number of seedlings and want to know if they are worth keeping.
I don't want to invest many years into them only to be disappointed.

Thank You.

Citrus General Discussion / Dekopon Seed Germination

« on: February 02, 2018, 08:29:36 PM »

I have some Dekopon seed that I was fortunate to find in fruit that I purchased from Whole Foods this week.
I have around 17 seeds. Most appear small, and I would say immature.

What is the recommended way to attempt to get these seed to germinate? Do I need to dry them first?

Thanks
Greg

Citrus General Discussion / Meyer Lemon Limb Question

« on: January 30, 2016, 05:26:03 PM »

Can anyone look at the photo of my tree. I concerned with a limb that emerged last summer. It was vigorous growing and was growing upwards at an angle that was a little steep for my taste.

Currently I have tie wrapped a piece of 1/4 copper tubing to the limb to shape it downward. I believe this will correct the upward growth.

This limb does not appear to have any flower buds on it and the leaves are larger than the leaves on the other limbs. The other limbs appear to be developing nice flower buds.

My question is, will this limb ever amount to anything? or is it a limb that will never produce fruit?

Thanks in advance

Greg

Citrus General Discussion / Winter Light Recommendation Including Link

« on: November 16, 2015, 01:23:13 PM »

Millet, Or Anyone with lighting experience,

Can you look at these lights on Amazon and make a recommendation as to which if any would be good for my Meyer lemon tree?
I have built an insulated (minimal) 6 ft a 6 ft cube on a covered portion of my deck. My plan is to roll the tree out daily when the temperature goes above freezing.

I'm afraid that rolling the tree out everyday is going to get old in a hurry, so I was considering adding a light. I plan to add a small electric space heater to keep the temperature around 34 deg on the cold nights.

There are a variety of light fixtures on the Amazon page. From 2 ft 2 tube all the way to 4 ft 12 tubes. I would like to buy the most economical fixture that will provide the correct light intensity.

Sorry I forgot to add the link. Here it is:
Here is the link to the light (s):

Citrus General Discussion / Meyer lemon Indoors For Winter - Spring Bloom

« on: November 02, 2015, 11:44:11 AM »

Thanks Millet for clarifying the light spectrum question regarding my windows.
I do have one additional question, If I bring in my tree for the winter, what will it do when I return it to the patio in the spring?
Will it begin blooming? I know that it will not receive the below 68 Deg temps that from what I have read, initiate the bloom cycle.

Thanks
