Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: Precocious Yuzu

I found the same like you. A seedling flowering after 3 months. Did you buy seeds from me in the past or ebay?

I haven't posted for a while here, but I came across something strange that I want to share.
I've been growing yuzu for years and this spring in march I sown the seeds after I left over some fruits outside over the winter.
Seedling developed normally and fast in the past three months, and now I found one has a flower. Not a male flower, but a fully developed flower.
This precocious probably I have never seen before.
I am not sure why this happened. Genetic probability or something I sprayed on flowering inducing mix.

Seedlings have like 10-13 cm in height

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Mango dark spot on stem
« on: April 11, 2025, 04:40:02 AM »
I got a new mango. This was okay and it had a clear stem healthy when I bought on nursery. After shipping for a week I put it cool greenhouse ( 40 to 68° F )
And quite cool humid air this dark spot came out near the grafting point.
I put a little bit povidone iodine (betadine) with a cotton tip on the spot.
Any idea what is this this and how to treat it. Thanks

Do you know if the variety will come true from seed?

probably not, but it should be similar

Nice looking fruit. How would you describe the taste?

Do you know why someone would cross a lemon with an orange, is there any advantage to this hybrid?

tastes like a lemon with a small hint of orange.
advantage is the anthocyanins which are red, plus you can make a red lemonade or different cocktails

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Could it be citrus greening? Europe
« on: October 27, 2022, 07:27:47 PM »
I could say it's a zinc and magnesium deficiency. Perhaps you overapplied potassium for Mg
Applying phosphorus at a high rate prevents  uptake of zinc, copper, iron and manganese

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Phosphoric Acid Fungicides can react with Copper Oxy Fungicides
« on: October 27, 2022, 07:19:08 PM »
Phosphorous acid at 50% w/w is effective against phytophthora and fusarium spores.
I studied this for few years and made some experiments. This is best applied as a drench when signs of decline start to show.
It has been recently banned in Europe as residues stay in the plant and soil for many years, and fruits were found to be contaminated. This is because the grape industry overused it, as it's effective for grapes.
Also I am against copper drenching or overuse of copper as a spray.
As long as the soil microorganisms are in balance, phytophthora and fusarium will not take over, unless overwatered and lack of oxygen.

At this stage the fruits are a bit sour, I would wait two weeks more.
As a side note, a small tree like that bearing fruits that take all the energy and sugars, it might make it to become week next year.

Thank you for sharing. Yuzu is generally not known for preciousness, so I might take a while longer before I can expect the first flowers. Some of my carrizo is starting to branch out in the top, at around 2.5, these might be closer to flowering.

The Japanese plant a yuzu when a kid is born, by the time it will turn into an adult the yuzu will flower and be productive. If you are lucky it can be 5 or 10 years.

I grow mangoes in Romania in a small greenhouse and they get very sweet and tasty, probaly becasue of high temperatures during summer.
I don't have those that you are looking for right now but I will bring an alphonso in the future.

Unfortunately some fungus infected the seeds. Perhaps I can get some fruits next year and try again

Next time send them to me I can help you germinate any kind of seed and send them back.
