OK...I think I have room for just one more small citrus in the stable up here in Minnesota citrus country, and I think I can just about get it ordered in before the real cold hits...I tend toward the sweeter fruits, and as you may know, the fall/winter temps indoors will be on the cooler 68-70 degree side at night plus whatever heat gain the sunroom gets during the day...maybe 8-10 degrees max. I think I am down to:

Tango, or Owari Satsuma

Others I have are:
Page
Kishu
Gold Nugget
Trovita
Wash navel
Thoughts on which I should add?

Moro Blood. If I could only have one tree that's what it would be.

Looking at the trees in Big Al's collection, a blood orange would be a particularly good addition (if Big Al likes blood oranges). One tree that I would be sure to have in my collection, would be a Xie Shan Satsuma. Xie Shan can sometimes be a rather hard variety to locate. - Millet (475-)

Hey Millet, any chance you know where such a satsuma may be appropriated, or if need be...mis-appropriated?

Kishu is a excellent very sweet small mandarin.

Thx Laaz. I have one and am looking forward to tasting the fruit

Sorry Al, I don't know where you can purchase a Xie Shan. The place where I purchased my two Xie Shan trees is currently under a quarantine, due to the citrus psyllid, so they can't ship. - Millet (475-)

That makes sense Millet...my luck seems to trend that way

I have never tried blood orange...what is so special. It would seem some of you experts hold them in very high regard.

I too have a page because of Millet's recommendation. As a matter of fact, all of my trees were selected due to recommendations or descriptions from this site. I looked into blood orange...very interesting. Are you sire that mora is the best type. I have read that it takes forever to fruit

When you get a dwarf tree on rootstock it should fruit quickly because the graft would have come from a mature tree. what you read is probably related to new plantings in groves where the trees take several years to come into bearing. I have two Moro's and both have fruited well every year since I have had them. Sanguinelli would be another possibility, but not as solid across the board as Moro, but still very good. The other normally available blood is Tarocco, this one, at least in my experience is the most difficult of the blood oranges and would recommend you start with another first, before trying this one.

On the Four Wind website it says to call them if you are looking for a particular variety and maybe they will consider bringing it to their catalogue.

Good Luck

Ask Millet how that one worked out!

Just poking fun...thx

The wait is the biggest problem. The plants do as they wish, and some times it seems like it takes forever for them to flush from budding / grafting. It's pretty much like hurry up & wait.
