Here's some pics of my FD over the last several days. I managed to locate pictures of the same branch going back to late January. No flowers on my tree, I guess I'll have to hope for next year. Looks like Laaz's Poncirus are about a whole month ahead of those in New England.

Ivica, it looks like your FD has mine beat by 1.5-2 weeks. Mad Laughing

At least my container FD is at about the same stage as the one Laaz has in ground Very Happy (I overwintered mine outside in my cold frame, and brought it inside a month or so ago).

Tim, looking good! So going by your PT, it looks like spring is ~2.5 weeks later than last year.

Ivica, It looks like my FD is ~1.5 weeks behind yours... I guess that's the difference between a zone6b/7a and your zone 7b this year. It would be nice if New England would warm up in the spring sooner... There's a reason it's called New ENGLAND. Laughing

Wirtual, It looks like your FD is even ahead of mine, looking good!


Here's mine (5-2-2013)

I really like those FD/PT mighty thorns. Cool
Thorns/spindles of other citrus do not counts here. Laughing
