Some pictures I made today...

Bearss Lime:
The leaves look a little spotted. About a month ago I found a serious infestation with red citrus mites. The mites are gone now (I hope...) but the traces are still there...


Ruby red clementine:
Vigorous growth as always, but much less flower buds compared to last spring.


One of the fruits of the ruby red clementine...


Bergamot:
Many flowers emerging. This flower already smells like heaven even if it isn't open yet!


The one remaining bergamot fruit of last season...


Salustiana orange. Many flowers emerging...


Spanish Sanguinelli orange:
One small fruit remaining. Not a trace of blood. Guess I'll have to learn to live with that... Rolling Eyes


One of the two Star Ruby grapefruits on my small tree. Wonder what they taste like! Very Happy


The other star ruby fruit...


Feminello lemon flower. No purple coloring, they haven't had a lot of sun or warmth yet...


One of the two Buddha's hand citrons. This one is starting to turn yellow...


The other one...


New growth on the chinotto:


Poncirus seeds starting to grow...

Blood oranges normally need a period of cool / cold to develop the internal coloring.

I'm using some horticultural oil with pyrethrine to get rid of them. You have to mix the oil with water and then toroughtly spray the plants with it. Works like wonders! Smile

I´ve tried the same and it works. I have also used leafshiner and it also seems to work out just fine.

You can see my nursery on facebook here:

The link doesn't work for me, it just opens my own facebook home page. I can look you up by your name, but I can't find your nursery... maybe we should become facebook friends first? Very Happy

I can't think of any setting that could influence this. I tried with Firefox and Google Chrome browsers, both with same result. Maybe the search function is locale dependant?...

Does not work here either. You may need to adjust the settings of your facebook page.
