Citrus General Discussion / forced air heating and citrus trees
« on: December 17, 2022, 12:20:31 PM »
Hot air vents cause problems with blowing air on citrus tree leaves resulting in leaf drop. . The pictures show my solution to this kind of problem. this makes good use of an otherwise bad situation. This placement of my tree forces the warm air across the floor at living level instead of above Our heads, while warming the roots in a 60F house.

Cold Hardy Citrus / fusion power vs citrus trees
« on: August 29, 2022, 09:11:14 AM »
Growing citrus trees up north is like running a hydrogen fueled fusion electric powerplant. The trees are always just 5 years away from unlimited fruit production. With a fusion power plant, We'll find out who is cold hardy among us.

Citrus General Discussion / fukushu kumquat grafted to Flying Dragon 8-28-2020 loosing fruit
« on: July 21, 2022, 10:03:27 PM »
My tree is very large with at least 30 feet of linear branch grow and full of healthy dark green leaves. It produced 100's of flower as well as some new shoots. Most of the fruits are turning colors and falling with a few remaining green with out growth
Would anyone know why fruit drops from a well established tree. I use Jacks 25-5-15 once a month by soaking the tree in a tub. I water as needed between soakings. No dry pockets in my dirt.
