Is this normal because of the weird weather we have been having?
Is anybody else having a similar experience?

Mine are confused as well.

One Gold Nugget flowering and the other one not. I have a third GN but tortured it a bit onto an espalier and put it in a pot in October so it probably isn't very happy at the moment.

One 88-2 flowering and one not.

One Cocktail GF flowering and one not.

One Bearss flowering and one not.

Both Eurekas flowering. At least they both agree.

We've had several nights below 40 and several days that didn't make it to 60.

Yep, I have a clementine in full bloom right now. We had a lot of rain & are also at 80F.

Marisol Clementine, Cara Cara Pink Navel, Bittersweet Orange, Bearss Lime, Genoa Lemon, New Zealand Lemonade, Dekopon, Fina Sodea Mandarin Chandler Pummelo, Turunji Citrus Medica, and Xie Shan Satsuma are all presently blooming in the greenhouse. - Millet

My calomondin and key lime are blooming and the bears lime, meyer lemon look like they are just about to. Temps have been 70s on sunny days and mid 40s-50s at night in my greenhouse attic.

I think these all bloom year-round so it may be expected.

But mine is in the ground...

My Page manderin is blooming now, have it in my workshop for the winter.I wish i had another variety with it but now have to wait till next spring.

I also have a eureka and meyer lemon flowering but they flowered this time last year too. We are expecting temps in the 20's next week.
Luckily, most of my plants are in pots. I guess I have to convert my shade house into a greenhouse early this winter.

Meyer lemon, Ruby grapefruit, Sanguinelle blood orange all blooming in my first ever, beginner greenhouse. Temps ranging from 44 to 80 degrees inside...

Everything except my kumquats is blooming now. My moro blood orange is also massively flushing. My unhealthy golden nugget even has a few blooms.

The kumquats haven't changed one bit since summer, aside from the fruit which I've mostly eaten. Maybe they are dormant?


EDIT - looks like the blood orange will double its canopy! Every branch looks like this.



This was one of the home depot trees so I have no idea what the rootstock is. The tag says it came from Bell Nursery in TX but I can't find it online.

Yup. Many things blooming right now. We'll all have off season fruit. Had a little bit of this last season, and seeing that I will have a few things ripen probably 2 to 4 months after normal fruit season as well. My Bergamot is blooming, my Golden Grapefruit seedlings which are still very small are blooming, my Ortanique just finished blooming and is setting fruit, and I'll have to see what is blooming on the front slope. Several are, just can't remember at the moment.

From Manchester, England.

Sinton citrangequat on poncirus rootstock:- in flower when it when it arrived from Citrus Bali in May.

Flowered continuously since.

Put under fleece at start of November, temperarates under fleece minimum 4*c maximum 14*c. Outside of fleece only 5hrs of dawn frosts with lowest temp -2.7*c.

Still lots of well developed flower buds but no open flowers.

Surely with its poncirus and kumquat ancestry should be dormant, poncirus rootstock should also be forcing dormancy?

Yuzuquat I'm surprised the fleece works so well at keeping the cold out. Do you build a frame then wrap the fleece around the frame? How many layers of fleece do you use? Can you describe your setup please?

Fleece comes as zippable bags with draw string at bottom designed to go over a potted plant upto about 4ft tall. They are readily available in UK from garden centres, diy stotes etc. Mine are from Wilkinsons.

They are supposed to protect against temperatures of -7*c so have not been tested here this winter against a low of -2.7*c when temperatures in them got to low of 4*c. Seem to be holding up to specification.

The ones I have are a thick green waterproof fleece. They allow for light to get in and predumably there is also some air flow. For my larger plants I did try keeping contact with the fleece to a minimum by use of canes but in the windy weather we are having they have penetrated the fleece so will have to consider some sort of frame.

Most of my plants are to small for the bags so have had to fold over at top also to get sral have stood plant raised on seed trays on fleece at bottom to mimise collf penetration from concrete hardstanding.

This is first year with this method but red rangpur lime and microcitrus wintersii have take light frosts here without damage unprotected.

Besides poncirus I have in pots under the fleece:-
Citranges, citrumelos, citradias, citremon, citrandarins, fortunella, ichang pspede and lemon, natsudaidai, sudachi and citrangequats. Indoors I have microcitrus australis, eremorange, citrangeremo and shekwasha x C. Glauca. 47 plants in total and will be ordering more in spring.

Still interested in doing joint order for seed from wangallan limes if you decide to go ahead and get seed from them.

Thank you very much for the info Yuzuquat! I will have to try the fleece also. I hope all your plants stay safe this winter and grow well this year.

I will let you know if I go ahead and order from wangallan limes, I'm thinking in a few months to do so.
