Two seedlings survived and one is now almost two feet tall, the second is only six inches tall and has not had a growth flush at all this year.

How is the tree now? Has it fruited?

I forgot that my 'Wagashi' also has flower buds. It would be cool to get a fruit, because there is almost no information about the cultivar. It's only recently being sold by Vessieres, and their webshop page is all the information that exists. Supposedly it's a hybrid between an Ichang Lemon, and something unknown. I haven't had flowers on my Ichang Lemon yet, but it's interesting to see that the Wagashi flower buds are red:

If anyone paid for the passion fruit cutting and did not get a tracking number, then please send me a message to find out why.

I still have enough cuttings now for anyone who did not get it. I would like to close out this post by the end of this week so send me a message if there are any issues with your order to me.

Thanks

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Grafting previously rooted cutting

« Last post by sc4001992 on Today at 04:37:19 AM »

You could just take a cutting and graft it on any healthy and larger citrus tree, and it will grow fine If it was a fruiting branch that you rooted, then it should be fruiting for you in 2 years. I hear some citruses do not grow well on their own roots, never tried it myself. You do not need to use only FD, people say it makes the fruit sweeter, I don't know about that. Most Gold Nugget trees from nursery are grafted on semi-dwf rootstock. I have not seen any grafted to FD, only the kumquats seem to be grafted on FD and they grow super slow.

Can you take a photo of your tree showing the original Eureka portion (variety grafted) and the rootstock shoots you are talking about. It sounds to me that your grafted scionwood is dead so the rootstock has taken over the tree. This happens a lot, I have seen on many nursery purchased tree. The rootstock will usually be stronger than the grafted scion so if there is any disease or other issues, the top of the tree usually will die back first, then it may come back or just die and the rootstock will still be alive and maybe that is what you are seeing. When this happens to my potted trees, I just let the rootstock grow out and graft another variety onto it. For Eureka lemons, here is CA they usually use macrophylla for the rootstock so if you show a photo, I can tell you what it is.
