Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: Jabo Seeds Grimal and Caipirinha
« Last post by palologrower on Today at 03:49:02 PM »I am hesitant to give JT more positive feedback, as don't want him to get inundated with requests to the point he can no longer help me =)
Having said that, top notch collector and person to work with! So happy with my trees, they are good sized and handling the bright April sun light champs. You rock JT!
That is the nicest yet very selfish compliment! Ha ha ha.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Planting out Cambucá in full sun? Advice please . . .
« Last post by Julian R on Today at 03:48:13 PM »I don't have irrigation on my trees out back so I've been relying on the rain and mulch/ground cover to keep things moist for me. All has been good without hand watering at all so far, but I did give it some h2o yesterday since it has been mega hot with no rain in sight.

« Last post by simon_grow on Today at 03:03:05 PM »The thinning has begun
My plan on thinning is to remove fruit that are forming on large clusters on the same branch since these will likely bump into each other. I’m going to leave some branches with large clusters and thin some branches heavily to see what the difference is.

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: Do you have a picture of a large prague citsuma plant?
« Last post by drymifolia on Today at 02:50:52 PM »Has anyone tried rooting cuttings or marcotting? Wonder how vigorous it would be on its own roots.
I grafted four scions of Prague on different rootstocks in my greenhouse in Feb 2023 and all four failed to bud out all year despite staying green. I cut one off thinking it had failed, but the other three are still just sitting there now, green but refusing to bud out. I've never seen anything like it, but I assume it's related to the lack of vigor, or incompatibility with rootstocks (3 were different kinds of mandarins, one was a lemon seedling).
I noticed today that one of the three is showing very slight bud development, so I'm holding out hope. That's the one that's grafted to the central leader of a grafted Pixie mandarin (in the ground in my greenhouse).
