Fukushu dropping all flowers

(1/3) > >>

poncirsguy:
My Fukushu on Flying dragon drops all flowers.  There is a huge dimple in it on the graft line.  Could this be affecting fruit set.




The date on the picture is from an unbiosed camera.  real picture date is 10-28-25

brian:
The graft looks okay to me.  I'm not sure why all flowers would drop, something must be stressing it but I couldn't guess what without more info.

vnomonee:
Pollination issue? Dropping after they've opened? Root issues? Could be a handful of things

Millet:
A citrus tree drops all its flowers before fruit develops due to stress from environmental factors like inconsistent watering (both over- and under-watering), temperature extremes (like a late spring frost), or nutrient deficiencies, especially a lack of potassium. Other causes include poor pollination, insufficient sunlight, or a young tree needing to focus on root development. The tree is essentially shedding its blossoms to conserve energy and resources when it is under stress or unable to support the development of all the fruit.

Millet:
You might also try hand pollinating the flowers with a little brush JUST as soon as the flowers open.
