SC400 your trees are always amazing.  You should write a book.

The seed will germinate either way.  If the seed coat is removed the seed will germinate faster.

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Haruka vs. New Zealand Lemonade

I like New Zealand Lemonade best just before it becomes fully mature.  While the peel still has a little green to it.

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Cut off sunburned trunk or let it grow?
« on: November 04, 2024, 06:58:56 PM »
I would also leave the trunk alone. Any decision can be rightly be made in the next several years.  Many trees with the same problem have grown into full developed trees.

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Is this leaf miner?
« on: October 22, 2024, 11:47:50 AM »
I  agree with Galatians, that the problem is a nutrient deficiency.  The leaves look quite pale, maybe potassium and nitrogen. My bet the problem should correct itself with a good general fertilizing.

I have a 8 year old inground Dekopon tree grafted on C35 and it is only 6 feet tall.   C35  rootstock is a cross of Ruby orange X Webber Fawcett trifoliate orange.

There are some advantages obtained by utilizing various  rootstocks.  However, especially lemons on their own rootstock is absolutely fine.

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Plant in ground now 8b?
« on: October 01, 2024, 05:03:32 PM »
The larger the tree the better it is able to protect it self. However, the smaller the tree the easier it is to give the tree protection against an unusual harsh cold spell.   If it was me I would give it a try.  However, have protection ready.  See if you can still find the larger old fashion Christmas lights.  They put out a lot of heat.  This planting would make a excellent long term educational topic for this forum, as you print your growing challenges and successes.  The best to you and your trees.

I wish you and your trees all the luck.  In zone 8b you have a good chance unless there is one of those terrible extra bad cold fronts

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Yet another soil thread

I bought it on line.  However, I'm sure there must be some dealer in Denver.

The trifoliate leaves & branches are from the rootstock.    However, you can cut out the trifoliate branches and retain the monfoliate branches from the original tree.  Then top work

Peep, if the soil is well draining then a large container should not be a problem with proper watering.

I used to have a Prague grafted on FD.   It was planted in the ground., I got it from Laszz   It fruited very well.  The only problem is that the fruit is terrible.  After  a couple years Ii finally removed the tree and planted a red grapefruit that I purchased from Hershell (Madison Nursery).

Ilya111 sounds interesting   I have never heard of that variety.  Today there are so many citrus hybrids it is hard to keep up with them..

I have two Shikuwasa trees. The leaves shown in Peep's pictures don't  look like the leaves on my trees.

When grown in zone 7 and below they will need some  protection from cold events.

I had an inground Bizzsrria tree which I got from Lazz.  I had it for a couple yeas, but finally got tired of caring for it, especially as the fruit was not of eating quality. I replaced it with a Red Grapefruit.

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Mandarin tree - trying to reclaim

I think Rob From Sidney gave you the best possible advice. The leaves do look like mandarin leaves.

Actually, you would have been better off not putting the two inches of gravel in the bottom of the container, as doing so just raises the perched water table 2 inches higher in the container.

Citrus General Discussion / Grasshoppers
« on: August 25, 2024, 02:29:18 PM »
This summer the grasshoppers have been terrible here in Colorado.  They must be getting into the greenhouse through the exhaust vents.  They have been eating on the levees.  I kill them as I ketch them.  This year is the worst infestation I have ever seen.
