Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: Citrumelo Nr. 82
« on: April 22, 2024, 06:08:10 AM »
why havent you planted it outside in a protected location?
Is it not on a hardy rootstock?

I bet your zone 8a is more like 8b, that should be plenty easy for a citrumelo no?

@jim VH

Interesting, fairly good growth then, not a terribly large plant after 8 years, but not too bad
What about the yield? does it give you more fruits you can eat? or would you need 5-6 plants of that size for that goal? haha

@vnomonee

can you show pics how the prague on taitri looks like right now compared to the one you got from Stan?
really curious to see it in action

I found this regarding hardy citrus (also could work for rootstocks)
https://hardycitrus.blogspot.com/2014/01/cold-hardiness-table_13.html

I know one guy that talks about swingle citrumelo as a roostock that takes -15C and its fast growing, so thats an option as well, but its still a pain in the ass to get any roostock in my country lol.. maybe I could order some from surrounding countries but its quite expensive in large quantities

Answering your question:
I have one fairly large poncirus that was around 6-7 years old when I bought it 2 years ago, it stood there without leaves for a whole year and now its leafing out, I wonder if its a good idea to graft Prague on it?!

Perplexed

It seems to be in a decent shape. I though it grows in a really ugly way but it looks just like a poncirus tree
Damn I really wanna plant a bunch of these and wait a decade to have my cold hardy citrus orchard lol

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Avocado that requires very little water?
« on: March 20, 2024, 03:37:25 PM »
Its a known fact that avocados are very thirsty fruit trees.
But has there been an exception anywhere in the world when the tree just grows and fruits a lot year after year and it requires zero watering AND the area is not abundantly rainy?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Pictures of the world's northernmost avocadoes?
« on: August 19, 2023, 03:33:26 AM »
Thanks

Yes, I phrased inadequately. Meant as in avocadoes grown in the coldest zones

Ive looked up Brissago in Switzerland, Do you think it would be possible to plant one next to Lake Balaton in Hungary?
Its not exactly the same, but almost the same latitude wise, and the thermal mass from the lake would protect it I believe, obiously Id still need the most cold hardy ones but they might have a change, what do you think?

Anyone has pictures of avocado trees that grow way beyond what one is used to seeing?

Were talking Zone 8a or even slightly further?

@Epiphyte

I thnk the issue is not the cold, as in the tree's ability to survive but to get it to fruit well.
So not sure if thats achievable with grafting

Not even sure there are varieties that bloom in spring, allegedly there are but it smells fishy if I really look into it, almost as if it was anecdotal lol

« on: May 17, 2023, 01:16:25 PM »
Like russians developed many pomegranate varieties that can handle much colder temps than temps they are originally exposed to

Can you do the same thing with loquat?
The only issue that comes into mind is that they start flowering in december so unless it mutates to flower in spring instead its not gonna happen

But it makes you wonder about the possibilities of zone pushing

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Why did kumquats evolved to handle 15F/-9C when its fruits freeze easily?
« on: May 06, 2023, 04:42:53 AM »
To make the tree essentially tolerant to pretty deep freezes, yet its fruits to die at barely around -1C/-2C temps

Is it because normally the fruit matures before winter where the plant is originated from?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Tropical climate trees are "less efficient" by nature?
« on: May 03, 2023, 01:39:26 PM »
...than temperate climate trees?

Its as if tropical fruit trees are unable to "do the work" of bringing flowers, leaves at lower temps whereas temperate trees (apples, plums, apricot, pears etc.. ) do that with ease..
What is the science behind this?

Interestingly enough it not only affects tropical fruit trees but non-tropicals as well that came from the tropics, subtropics (but somehow evolved to handle colder temps eg: Asimina Triloba). They are really starting to wake up once night time temps go above 10C/50F

Can it be that as science advances we'll be able to manipulate whatever that is causing it to wake up early (and thrive), or push it with selective breeding?
