The Tropical Fruit Forum

Thanks for the feedback.  Forgot to mention these are going to be in containers. My apologies. I kinda like the Osmocote suggestion. I use CRF in my containers. I was away for a few days. Thanks again for the suggestions.

Really appreciate the feedback. I'll leave the first one and might add a second. Thanks again.

I grafted a citrus rootstock. The graft had already started slightly before I grafted. This was 3 weeks ago. There has been a little growth but seems there should be more. I'm thinking it's just possibly feeding itself. I have a more grafts I'd like to try if this one fails. How long should I wait? Thanks

Thanks.

The weather here in south GA has really turned warm. 70s and 80s and 50s at night. My citrus trees are starting to bud. Just saw some tiny new growth this am. Is it too early to graft? I have a rootstock that I want to graft on to with a scion from a tree I have
 Should I graft now? There is no cold air in sight on the long range weather models.

Thanks, I agree they look like seeds, and probably from birds. Much appreciated.

Found about ten of them this am. They are some kind of pod or egg, and they were in a very sticky substance. These I found this afternoon. They are the same thing, just dried out a little.

After the late December 5 day cold snap, temperatures have been above normal. Four out of five of our trees are showing significant new growth. Only the satsuma is lagging, but it's late anyway. The Hamlin has even blossomed. Only hoping we can get through the next 5 weeks without a hard freeze. Not likely though. Winter rarely ends peacefully.

Thanks. Foley, Al is on the same latitude as I am in Kingsland, GA, the next state over. He is talking about the exact same recent cold snap that we both had. I'm a meteorologist by vocation, and I checked the weather data for the 5 days. His cold weather was actually slightly colder than mine. We had temps that bottomed out in the low 20s for 4 nights in a row. It was clear and cold, and breezy the first two nights. They were the longest nights of the year, and each night had 10 hours+ below freezing. More power to him, but if you don't know the difference between a juice orange, and a navel, what else is there to say. Shoulder shrug.

Thanks for that. We picked a bunch of Honeybells before the freeze, and I think they're good, but I will confirm.

We also have very sandy soil here in SE coastal GA. After reading the other recent thread, I might benefit from adding some compost. I follow the UGA extension fertilizing recommendations for our area, so hopefully I'm not too far off on that end.

Not too sure how that could occur, because I fertilize with a complete supplement, and the other trees look good. But anything is possible, I'll look into it.
