Hey Cindy! Did you ever find any? I can send a few if not

Trees look great, Bob! As always 😊. How does the Changshou taste - like a regular kumquat or sweeter?

Thanks Laaz - I remember hearing that now, though I’ve never tried one.

TFN, thank you for the offer! I would love to try one or two if you have them to spare! My tree is small and will take a few years to produce.

I recently acquired a Juanita Tangerine and was curious to know a little more about the tree/fruit if anyone has one. I’ve heard the famous story of Ms. Juanita and was curious about the flavor of the fruit.

Found a broken branch on my Tarocco from the storm last night. Will probably yield two good budsticks if anyone in Georgia (US) is interested.

Road trip, Laaz? Lol

Thanks for all of the advice, everyone! Millet, do you recommend foliar or root feeding of Epsom salts?

Joe, I am zone 8a, but my trees stayed outside most of the winter, only going inside our unheated garage a handful of times when the temps dropped. The funny thing is, my eureka and Genoa lemons are all dark green, but my Bearss Lemon and Santa Teresa lemons are suffering. I will apply the Epsom salt mix tomorrow and see how it goes. I’m thinking of sending my soil off for testing, too. Just to be safe and on the lookout for future issues.

FoliagePro

Interesting what you may get from seed 🙂

Apologies for the noob question, but do the below leaves reflect boron toxicity or a magnesium deficiency? My trees are fertilized with Osmocote Plus, while alternating FoliagePro and Fish Emulsion. Towards the end of last summer, I stopped using FoliagePro and was only using FE. Now, I’m afraid I’ve experienced a nutrient lock out. We’ve had about 5 straight days of excessive rain, so they’ve gotten a good flush.

Note: my young grafted trees are still indoors, using the same water source (but were not fed FE) are all dark green.









2nd Note: the third picture shows new growth on a tree that almost exclusively produces dark red shoots that purple out before turning green. This new growth has been entirely green from the start.

Thanks for your time and any/all advice is greatly appreciated 🙂

Following, as I have been mulling over getting one for awhile, but space is limited and I already have 20+ trees. I received NZL budwood from the CCPP, but the grafts were destroyed by my puppy before I could move them out of reach.
