The results are indeed impressive but I cannot find any of the studies to which they refer that show what a great supplement it is. Has it been evaluated in a peer reviewed scientific journal? Or were the studies performed by the manufacturer and not published. I take all of those results with a huge grain of salt.

Hi Millet. I use 5:1:1 soil mix and some of my trees still die from root rot. What could be the cause?

You need a permit to import seeds: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/planthealth/import-information/permits/plants-and-plant-products-permits/plants-for-planting/!ut/p/z1/fUxBDoIwELzzCi8ezUI0qEeCRkTjGXppVqxSLS20xejvbZBELriH2ZmdmQXiTSaeG8gccbSHsQ1E4pPf0HIlUUAGOQnpKYh3_moRHHfbTeBHyXp_SJahH6dzSLvirz8EIP-7Wd_t4yMLcn5vGhIBKZS07GUhw7rkhnZSWir4WaN-T32DVLWaXlXRmk7VAp1fMhS27A68qpW2X4_pitthrketLm0xNIz7qL-Uy5u7VyjETChrZoaxC9QPkn8A2fIj0w!!/

Citrus General Discussion / What does Shirokolistvennyi mandarin taste like?
« on: January 31, 2021, 11:13:12 PM »
Two years ago, on a whim, I ordered a Shirokolistvennyi cutting from CCPP. Me, being Russian, thought it would be neat if I got a Russian citrus tree.
I grafted it but it failed. I rooted the rest of it. Last summer, it put out a relatively huge branch off to one side, so I cut it off. I could not just throw the cutting out, so I cut it in two and stuck them into Optisorb in a plastic cup. I taped anther plastic cup on top to maintain humidity. One of the two cuttings is now putting out new leaves.
So now I have two Shirokolistvennyi trees, with another possibly coming soon. But I have no idea what this variety tastes like!
So, has any of you tasted it and if so, how did it taste?

I have decided to not foliar feed again. I used Millet's recipe for low biuret urea and Tween 20 and I got browning on the tips of new leaves. Older leaves are not affected.

Your tree has scale. Use horticultural oil or neem oil for treatment.

Cold Hardy Citrus / Poncirus winter protection
« on: September 04, 2020, 11:08:20 PM »
I am in zone 6a. I have a Poncirus trifoilata that I planted in ground this spring. It is about 3 feet tall. Do I need to provide winter protection? If so, would I need to include a heater?

Boston is in zone 6a. Does the Arnold Arboretum in Boston still have a Poncirus?

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Watering citrus in a RepiBark 5-2-1 Rapid Draining Medium
« on: August 08, 2020, 04:50:38 PM »
Millet, thank you for your reply. One more question: do you water by hand or do you have an irrigation system? If the latter, then how did you set it up?
I ask because I just set up an irrigation system for my numerous figs (in containers) but have been reluctant to use the system for irrigating my citrus because some citrus I water about every 3 days, some 5 days and some 7 - 8 days.
Best to you , too!!!!

Thank you for your schedule. Is this a daily schedule? I use 5:1:1 mix and only water when necessary. I have a problem with your one size fits all schedule.
When I water depends on:
-the individual plant
- the pot size. (I find that smaller pots dry faster thane large pots.)
- type of pot, e.g., Rootmaker pots require more frequent watering.
-and, of course, the weather (rain, wind and temperature.)

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Container mix questions: cocoa shell mulch, cedar shredded?
« on: July 29, 2020, 11:00:37 PM »
Millet, do you sieve the pine bark mulch? I ask because the characteristics of the pine bark differ according to brand with some brands having a smaller or greater proportion of large pieces and fines. Also, the proportion of fines increases with age of the pine bark.
I have been using Agway pine bark mulch. I no longer sieve it and so no longer include peat moss because the pine bark fines replace the peat moss.

So what does the "deliciously sweet" inner white rind taste like? Other than it is sweet. Is this really worth growing?

I stretch the Parafilm and apply only one layer over buds. After a while, buds go through the Parafilm. Usually, by that time the Prafilm has started to break down and has weakened.

Millet, I already have a Santa Teresa. Thanks.
Poncirusguy, I don't know exactly what roostocks I have because they originated from suckers on a grafted tree.
