I have 21 extra six inch tall Fly Dragon Trifoliate seedling trees growing in air root pruning containers, that I will give away first come. They are very nice plants. You can order as many as you wish. I would like $2.00 plus the postage to cover the air root pruning container, potting soil, and the box that they will be shipped in. I planted up 71 trees and I am only going to grow-on 50 of them. I'll wait for 10 days and the ones that are not given away I will add to my compost pile. - Millet |

Millet,
If there are still some left, I'd like 5 (or up to 5 of whatever's left). Thanks! |

Gene and Gina, send me a private message with your address, and I will send your trees. I have been getting private messages for some of the trees. I still have a few left. - Millet |

Sorry, but all of the Flying Dragon trees that I had to give away have been spoken for. I do not have any more to give away. - Millet |

Acts of sharing such as that are a great way to build good will and keep this little citrus community strong. When people look at their trees in the future, they will remember, "Millet is a good guy!" _________________ Peace, Love, and Citrus |

Thanks Millet!! I'll keep an eye out!! and let the Postal carried know I'm looking for them.. She is real good about not letting stuff sit on my porch when she knows I'm waiting so plants won't get damaged sitting in a box in the hot am sun.. although.. as much rain and clouds are here no chance of that.. LOL
Scott, You are soo right.. I wish I could repay half of all the generosity that my online "Citrus Family" have shown me..

How long does it take a flying dragon tree to produce fruit, in order that I can get some seeds from the fruit? I have a 3 year old in a pot. It is about 30 inches tall and several seedlings which were given to me. I know a lot depends on the care, fertilization, etc. A ball park figure would give me some idea. Thanks Bill |

I find Flying Dragon just about the most difficult rootstock to graft or bud. First of all, at least here in the English climate, it takes four or five years for a seedling to reach a reasonable size. Then they tend to branch low down, and finally it is hard, or impossible, to find a straight piece of stem to fit the scion on to!
Anyone else agree? |

Got mine yesterday too. Now I know what the root pruning containers look like --how cool!
Citrange, I would agree with you. I would rather graft onto P Trifoliata.
FD's are so contorted & grow twisted that it would be hard to find a nice place to graft on....maybe Tbud would work. I just love them for the looks. _________________ Patty
