Some pictures of the fruits on my citrus trees...

Moro blood oranges. These are quite large already. No sign of any blood on the outside, and the inside probably won't have any pigmentation either unfortunately. It's a pity one can't see the inside from the outside...


Some of the smaller Tahiti limes. There's also one single large one, but it's not on picture here...


Beginning Buddha's hand fruits. My Buddha's hand tree is currently still in full bloom. It's unfortunate that the flowers hardly smell...


One of the fruit clusters on my Meyer lemon tree...


The only fruit on my small Caracara orange tree. That fruit is really growing fast!


The first of many blooms that are emerging on my variegated pink eureka lemon tree. Lots of flowers are currently emerging. I hope I'll get some of those pink lemons!


The red clementine has some new fruits also, but they're still too small to be interesting. The bergamot has no new growth nor flowers nor fruits yet.

That about sums up the human condition.

Haha! Very Happy
I cut one of the large fruits in half this morning, I wanted to see it and taste it. No red pigmentation as I expected. Taste wasn't exactly spectacular either. Slightly sweet, watery, not a hint of acid. Definitely not what I like.

I'll have to learn to accept that I'm not living in a citrus friendly part of the world. My plants grow, flower and fruit well (a new growth/flower flush is about to appear on all my plants) but that's about it... Confused

Apparently your growing your tree to warm. It is the cooler night/day temperatures that cause the anthocyanins to color up. - Millet (854-)
