Well, I would consider my Bombay tree quite vigorous and it seems to want to grow
laterally, unlike the vertical nature of my Valencia Pride. Still haven't gotten it to flower
or fruit and it's a good 6X6 feet, and 3 years in the ground.
I'm thinking out loud here - perhaps I should completely cut off watering in December and
wait for the meager rains...or.....water only when I see them start to shrivel a bit....or....
start to water when I see the buds forming....???XXX!! Just too many trees didn't flower at all
and if it wasn't because of the cold/frost nipping, then it must be because I'm making water
too available, maybe? I mean, both drought and cold should trigger flowering, yes?
Just wonder what anyone might suggest, though I know very few of you live in my type of
desert climate....oh, and I really don't want to get into KNO3 spraying if at all possible....
