NapAp22,  that Kishu is not my tree, it is Brian tree.  He does a fantastic job with his citrus trees.

The internal eatable part of the fruit should still be fine.

Most all plants appreciate relief from 100+ degree temperatures plus the direct rays of the hot sun.  Be a friend and give it the  loving relief it needs, an the plant will thank you.

A citrus fruit can have up to 6 seeds and still be sold as "seedless" in the United States. This is based on USDA regulations.  I don't know about Europe's regulations, or if they even have regulations on seed content.  Your Nordmann was probably a correct variety.

I don't know the insect type, but they are insect eggs.

I agree with  Galatians522 that it is rust mite damage.  Spray with soapy water, or a horticultural oil or neem.

I have a large Valentine pummelo tree about 18 years old. The flesh of a valentine fruit is very deep purplish/red, and very sweet.  It has no (zero) acid taste,

Ideal pH for citrus growing medium is 6.5.   However, any  soil between 6 and7 should be fine.  Just be sure to be under 8.

Dosen't look like mites or thrips to me.  Looks to be leaf fungal diseases

On a tree that small I would remove all of the fruit.   If however you wish fruit just leave one.  Citrus fruit draws all of its growth energy from only the three closest leaves to the fruit.

I am confused why so many people have such a difficult time controlling spider mites.   For me,  a strong water spray once or twice gives excellent control.

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: Poncirus nutrient issues
« on: April 14, 2025, 05:13:21 PM »
I think it also has fertilizer issues.  Organic fertilizers do not work well in container grown trees, as there is not enough micro organisms to brake  down organic fertilizers into a usable forum.  Also, using an excellent fertilizer like Jacks once (a month ago) is also not a proper fertilizer schedule.

I have always just used the hose with my thumb over the end to make a strong spray, and wash the entire tree.  For me this process has never failed me.  Some times it takes a second spray to get the few left.

Yes, the higher up on the tree the twig will have a higher node count to start it out.

Clearly looks  like it just comes from the rootstock.

1rainman many people would disagree with you concerning Meyer Lemon as being a quality lemon.

 Minneola flowers are self incompatible, thus require pollination by another citrus variety.  Dancy, kinnow and clementine are all good pollinators.

I have known Hershell for a long time, ever since  the original forum that Lazz developed 10 or more years ago, way back when Hershell was a  greenhouses builder. At that time his daughter was also on the forum. Hershell you now most likely have the greatest citrus variety greenhouse in the USA for both hobby and commercial growers. I hope to see you again at Stan's next Southeastern citrus growers convention this fall. Once again thank you for all you do for the hobby and professional citrus growers.

That is a great place to have the Expo.  Thanks Hershell
