Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Root builder rolls question
« Last post by brian on April 23, 2024, 07:12:00 PM »I think the usual guidance is about 4in wider diameter than the current size. I usually cut the roll so that it has an extra 8-10in of overlap so that I can make it wider later by lessening the overlap.
I use zip to hold them together

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Root builder rolls question
« Last post by Daintree on April 23, 2024, 07:06:19 PM »I just ordered a half roll of the 17" tall root builder material. I can't dig even an inch in my greenhouse because of all the maple tree roots, but I am going to try and let the plants just push their roots around and down.
After all these years, I do have a few trees that I have never moved, so I will start with those.
My question is "how much bigger than their current pot should I make the root builder pots?"
And also, what do you hold them together with? I was planning on zip ties...
Cheers,
Carolyn

The slowest graft to grow is the Sangue e Latte, still has not shown any new leaves (scion still alive). This one is the most difficult to graft, but timing is very important when grafting it.
I also got Sangue e Latte this year. I see leaves coming out of only 1/4 grafts. You're right, it is harder to graft than others. I think the rest will work, just need to wait for the second set of buds which usually show up around July or something.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Himalayan Mulberries
« Last post by sc4001992 on April 23, 2024, 05:22:28 PM »Gulfgardener, I noticed the same thing when I first grafted the DMOR9 from a plant I purchased (for $150) since no one was selling cuttings at the time. My first few grafts failed, I thought it was me, but nop, it was just a harder variety for grafting like the White Pakistan and Red Himalayan. So when the timing is right, it will graft fine. Also I do notice that the DMOR9 once the graft takes will grow out fast. I have an in-ground Black Pakistan tree with Australian Green, Red Himalayan, DMOR9, Sangue e Latte, Thom's Super Pakistan all grafted (1/23) and the DMOR9 has fruits on it now. The slowest graft to grow is the Sangue e Latte, still has not shown any new leaves (scion still alive). This one is the most difficult to graft, but timing is very important when grafting it.
Don't give up on the DMOR9, it's a good one, fruits are supposed to be one of the best tasting long red berry. By next year all my DMOR9 grafts will be large so just send me a message and I can sell you some fresh good scion wood for grafting. I purchased my DMOR9 tree from an old collector/ebay seller who tells me this is the best tasting red fruited berry.
I'm trading my large tree with all these grafts to a friend on this forum for a special Lychee he has.

Citrus General Discussion / Re: New Zealand lemonade vs Meyer lemon
« Last post by Rispa on April 23, 2024, 05:03:23 PM »Do either have the same thin skin?I would recommend eureka or lisbon lemons over meyer. I would most likely not have a meyer lemon tree if I was able to grow standard lemon varieties in my climate. Meyer lemons to me have an off taste. Meyer is a highly productive tree if you like the fruit but I prefer other lemon varieties over meyer.
I agree. Meyer lemons are low quality and not worth growing. I would recommend Lisbon or Harvey

Having said that, top notch collector and person to work with! So happy with my trees, they are good sized and handling the bright April sun light champs. You rock JT!
I really appreciate the kind words. I'm always happy when I can put my trees into the hands of other growers who will appreciate them!
