Kumquat (Nagami) was not grow as expected this spring. Closer inspection showed root rot. Every bit of old soild has been removed using hose, roots trimed, tree top hard cuted, repoted. Here is how it looks as of now:

New growth:

Rot artifact:


What made situation worse is that my wife is 'kumquatoholic' and that my winter search for other kuquat varietes was not succesfull.
Panic attempts to save something resulted in,
rooted cuttings

grafting on inground Poncirus (I'm low with rootsock)

Ivica, did your kumquat cuttings successfully take root? If they did could you describe your method please? Thanks.

Hi! Even if you use hormone will not take root. I have tried already few years ago but without success. The mandarins and orange also take root very hard with very low success.

Thank you Ivica and Karoly for the useful information. It seems kumquats and other citrus are very hard to root. Only lemon is easy to root it seems from what people report on here.

Folks,

I have successfully rooted a mandarin last summer. I got bud wood for grafting and once I was done (graft did not take ), there were two 3"-long twigs that I submerged in a hormone and stuck in the ground. One has rooted. No plastic or any other fancy things... The cutting is in a pot now growing very slowly with 4 or 5 small leaves. I am not very impressed but the plant is alive.

Yes, it is possible with some variety of mandarins and orange but you will be very disappointed later. Growing very slow and sensible to diseases. I have also rooted Citrus Deliciosa but after one and half year I give it to my friends.
I have no ideea if are still alive or not.

Karoly,
can you give us more info about citrus which you grow there. This forum have members from more-or-less any country surrounding you. Welcome!
Going to Adriatic sometimes maybe ?

Hi ivica,
Thank you for the welcome!
I have been there last summer!
So, these is are the varieties what I'm growing at the moment:

1 orange + 1 clementine from Portugalia (unknown variety because I couldn't read it, it's hand wrote) grafted on 2 different rootstock's (the root is Poncirus and the trunk is aurantium) - these 2 are big ones (1,5 m tall).

These are young:
2 grafted + 1 rooted citrus lemon Florentina
2 unknown variety of lemon
2 citrus lemon 'Lipo' (Imperial Lemon)
2 citrus deliciosa
2 meyer lemon
1 Rangpur lime
1 Mexican lime

few Pomelo, aurantium, grefruit, calamondin, orange, lemon's from seed growing for rootstock's.
Now, I'm germinate around 40 sour orange and 40 PT seeds.

Thanks Karoly, great collection.
Ah, those citrus fellows makes winter warmer.

GT, thanks a lot!!
