Citrus General Discussion / Zinc Sulfate
« on: May 10, 2017, 02:26:55 PM »

 Just wondering if any of you spray Zinc as a foliage spray? I had pecans that quit producing for two year so I  tried the Zinc and am now seeing little pecans all over the trees. During my research I came across the reference to Citrus benefiting from the same Zinc application. If you do spray Zinc, when is the best time to do it?

Citrus General Discussion / Marrs orange
« on: April 09, 2016, 07:40:04 PM »
 What's your opinion on the Marrs orange? I had the opportunity to taste one this year and found it to be sweeter than my Washington navel. I can get wood from this tree so just want opinions before doing so. From what little I can find it's an offshoot from the Washington navel and has less acidity.
Thanks Karl

Citrus General Discussion / Flying Dragon orange seeds
« on: March 05, 2016, 05:33:26 PM »
Can the seeds from a Flying dragon orange produce both Trifoliate and flying dragon plants when germinated?. A friend told me that this and it just does not seem possible. Have you guys ever heard this or is it just not true.
Thanks Karl

Citrus General Discussion / Odd Owari
« on: September 03, 2015, 03:41:58 PM »



 I saw this odd wedge shape on one of my Owaris today. I have seen sun spots but this is unusual. Have any of you seen anything like this? It's hard to see in the picture but it's a perfect wedge shape.

Citrus General Discussion / Intestinal blockage from satsuma membrane
« on: March 04, 2015, 12:01:28 PM »
A while back I heard about a person having blockage from eating too many satsumas. Last week I asked my doctor about it and he confirmed that it does happen. I guess the stringy membrane forms a ball and does not move through. Just curious if anyone had heard of this or if it's just a fluke.

Citrus General Discussion / Myer lemon question
« on: December 06, 2014, 08:43:00 PM »
Every year my lemon tree produces flowers and fruit until it gets cold here. After the first freeze it seems to calm down and just ripen the existing fruit that were produced earlier in the spring. Right now it has some small lemons that will fall off before spring. I guess what I am asking is do lemons produce year round in the tropics or in greenhouses?

Citrus General Discussion / Satsuma brix
« on: November 01, 2014, 03:13:14 PM »
 Just wondering how many of you test your satsumas. In past years I have tested with a result of 10 to 12% depending on the time of the year tested. The Ponkan always test a little higher.
 What's your average?

Recipes / What to do with Jujube juice?
« on: August 02, 2014, 05:08:55 PM »
 I just steam juiced two quarts of jujube juice in the steam juicer but just can't find a recipe to make jelly. Anyone have a recipe for jujube jelly?
 I normally just eat them fresh but I have so many this year that I decided to juice some,but I must say that the juice is not nearly as tasty as eating the fruit.
 A recipe for dehydrating them would also be appreciated.

Citrus General Discussion / Miewa Kumquat
« on: June 18, 2014, 10:10:59 AM »
 I know kumquats bloom later than my other citrus but this one is just now starting to bloom now at the end of June. We did have a late spring this year so I was just wondering if anyone else is seeing late blooming.

Citrus General Discussion / Harvest bags , buckets

 I am looking at harvest bags and would like recommendations. So far the Hoss picking bucket looks like the way to go. Any suggestions?
