To be honest, it isn't something I haven't been thinking about earlier... And it sounds like a good deal to me. Besides, who knows what the future brings - maybe someday we become neighbors!

hopefully.

... and establish the largest citrus orchard on the island of Sholta.

that is not going to be very difficult. largest one has 100 trees perhaps.

My, no, no, no, MY MANDARED arrived today... From the same retailer, as Marc, Sylvain and Radoslav, of course.
It came packed with some monstrous thorns, which I cut off immediately along with my regular pruning routine.
Repotting also had to be carried out since the container was... guess what... broken.
It has even got a couple of small flower buds, we'll see if they're gonna make it, at least one of them...

Unpruned:


After some light pruning:


Thorns are huge indeed...


There's only two flower buds, shown from different angles...

Looks like your thorn is even longer than mine!
...and you cut those beautiful thorns of??

Yeeees... With no regret.

Holy crap those are long thorns.

C. unshiu "Kawano wase" has its first bloom ever...

Nice! More fruits to look forward to!

This is an early variety with a fruit-maturation period of cca 150 days in our climate.
Hopefully they should be ready by the end of September.

Very nice collection.

Thanks Citrom!

Here's a couple ones from today.

Tahiti lime is loaded up with some snow white blossoms, while the new ones are emerging all the time from previous year's as well as this year's growth...











On the other hand, looks like Lunario is just waking up...



Last year's dust is still present on the tree...



The rest, a crop of about a dozen lemons, have already been harvested...
Fruit shape doesn't look that bad for a "Lunario". Its flavor is very aromatic, though.


Best,
Igor

Great plants Igor.

@Laaz - Thanks man, I'm doing my best as always!
