You may want to subject your plants to a month or two of near freezing temps. I have noticed that the plants seem to bloom & set fruit better that way, than if kept nice and warm all winter.

Moro was full of little oranges, not Tarocco. This moro reminds me on lemon. it bears flowers and fruits at the same time.
Tarocco is growing new leafes and progressing well, but without fruits so far.

sorry, mixed it up then ...
then it was tarocco who was cut down very much ...
all citrus can have fruits and blossoms same time. |

No problem.  . yes, tarocco was cut down. I agree, but some citrus can have fruits and blossoms throughout a year, and mandarin for example not.

I also have Tarocco, grafted 2005, but it flowered only 2 times so far, so perhaps, it is its natural behavior -who knows. |

Don't forget the drawbacks of Verdelli's method, such as dramatically reducing tree's lifespan... |
