what a beautiful inground tree!

Frank, your citrus look great!

thanks guys

so the Meyer only flowers a little against the house, the front of the tree lost foliage in the winter,,(likely due to cold or maybe lack of water),,, will it flower in the front or does it only flower on old wood?

thanks

It flowers only on new wood. Millet

well 1 of my Kumquats has about 50 fruit

my thomasville has about 30 fruit, the largest is green and I have been picking, not bad like a lime, as long as u dont eat the peal, they are bigger than eggs

my satusma, has about 30 fruit, all green and I am picking those 1 every 2-3 days

it got to 20 f one night, others 3-4 around 32..............

funny I must have thown squash in my regular vegi garden and they germinated..................

so I eat the large thomasvilles even when they are green, as long as they are largish.....

with the winter fast approaching (low of 18f ) so far. I picked the larger of the quats............. Anyway I have found that leaving them on the counter makes them get sweeter.................

be cool if someone else could verify this

sounds like you have a nice crop of citrus this year. Do you plan to hybridize any of your citrus with a C. trifoliata?

How about more photo updates!

Wow Frank,
Sounds like your trees did really well this season. Hopefully someday I'll be getting that many fruit from trees I have planted outside. I had 9 Satsumas on my container grown Armstrong Early, the first was ripe in mid. Sept. and I just ate the last one this past weekend.

How many years did it take for your Thomasville to start fruiting and approx. how large was it?

the thomasville fruited pretty quickly I will have to check my notes as to when


fwiw the trees that I have in pots tend to fruit and flower as oppose to the ones in the ground that tend to grow and grow

the Thomasville now is about 5 feet tall and flowers 3 times a year

I just got my Thomasville from Stan this spring and although it was a small newly grafted plant, it already had developing fruits on it. I pulled those off and it shot into flushes of growth, then flowered and set more fruit. It's shocking how badly this plant wants to make fruit. Very impressive....thanks again Stan.

Frank, Greg,
That's encouraging regarding the Thomasville, mine (also from Stan) has only put out a few growth flushes since getting it. My other trees I got from Stan (Armstrong Early, Centennial kumquat) have already set one or two crops of fruit. All were purchased at the same time but the Thomasville was a much smaller plant, I guess I'm just getting impatient.

you might have told me but what are ur secrets with keeping the citrus in pots...............we have tried everything
if it isnt bugs, it is over or underwatering in the winter

I find it hard to time with the lack of natural light
