Just wanting to learn which of these nurseries mentioned/linked in this thread might be wholesale/retail?

Enquiring minds and all that rot . . .

Cheers!

Zills is wholesale only. you can buy mango fruit from them during the season though. Although they do pick them early as seen on numerous threads.
And just about everyone else does both.


To the Original Poster,
If you need bulk wholesale jaboticabas, please let me know.
I have several connections that can hook you up!

Citrus General Discussion / Re: New Zealand lemonade vs Meyer lemon
« Last post by kulasa on Today at 12:35:38 PM »
I have eaten Both fresh picked NZL's and fresh picked Meyer's  NZL are sweeter and much less sour than Meyer lemon.  NZL lemons can be eaten out of hand.  Meyer lemons are said to eat the enamel of your teeth at half the speed of of a eureka lemon.  NZL lemons are not good for cooking and the peal is sweet with a mild bitter after taste.  If you are looking to eat out of hand the NZL is the only choice.  If you are looking for use in drinks and cooking go Meyer.

How does NZL compare to sanbokan?

Thanks guys!
Yes, the maple tree roots are a problem, they break the surface of the greenhouse floor in several places. 

But at this point removing it is not an option. To clarify, it is only one tree.  It is 70 years old, and absolutely ginormous.  It keeps the greenhouse cool in the summer and is home to several sets of squirrels and a pair of screech owls.

We had three trees cut down to make room for the greenhouse, but even if we cut down our maple tree, there are still the neighbors tree roots. We have a pretty small yard, and the greenhouse takes up half of it.

The property line is just past the maple tree, and six feet to the right of the greenhouse. The rhodies you can see on the left are right up against the house. So yeah, it is pretty tight back there!

I guess I will see what happens!

Cheers, Carolyn


You may be ok?
I don't think the maple is allelopathic.
My gh is pretty close to some big trees too. Maybe 20-25'.
Which I need to clear up lol.
If possible, I would try to make a dent in the maple roots on the floor of the gh so the rootmaker so it doesn't compact it.

I take it this supersedes the other chart?

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Yuzu Fingerlime cross
« Last post by kulasa on Today at 12:32:30 PM »
I have a seed grown finger lime that turned 4 in January. It has flowered and fruited the first time this month. I can't wait to see what the inside is. Purple caviar would be nice if I can't have a seedless one lol I know, I know, wishful thinking. I also have a seed grown key lime that appears to not have seeds. The most seeds I have seen in a fruit (if there's any), since it started fruiting (3rd season now I think) was 2.

Seems like everyone is sold on the Jamaican mamey.

Where did every one get the info about that variety?

Isn’t c-35 rootstock highly incompatible with any type of eureka? If so why am I finding all these trees here at big box stores with them grafted together?  Am I wrong or do they not care and are just trying to make money? How long does it take to show incompatibility? Their grafts look really good so I’m just wondering.

I’m pretty sure I’m having this problem now so thanks for posting this. In my case it took about 3 years to start showing incompatibility, manifesting as just refusing to grown any leaves above the graft and constantly pushing out suckers. Very frustrating that a big nursery would do this.
Thank you for sharing how long it took for this to happen. it is frustrating.
