Igor,
Something must be in the air
How about this, Siscia Lemon, potted, photo taken today:
Interestingly, I see such flowers on potted SL only,
so far - no flower is like that on SL planted into ground.
EDIT: Just checked, in-ground tree has them too.
Ants adores them, I had to chase a few but a couple is still on the photo. _________________

@Ivica - It's already strange enough to make us suspect...
Here's my recently grafted Mandared® tree!! I bark-grafted Mandared budwood onto P. trifoliata rootstock on April, 26th. Yesterday, three weeks later, one of its buds broke. I unwrapped the plumbing tape to check whether the union has healed. And it seems it's healed well enough to support the new growth. Maybe it would've even started a couple of days earlier, if I had budded it instead... Besides, that is one of the reasons why I prefer budding over grafting. Healing process takes place much faster and therefore the new growth starts earlier and the union is much stronger. Nevertheless, this time I wasn't given a chance to choose, because Mandared budwood was quite triangular, and I simply couldn't cut a bud which would've adhere to the rootstock's cambium well. By the way, I got the scions from Marc, before I even decided to get my own Mandared tree. And there it is now... Thanks again Marc!
April, 26th - bark grafting:
And the outcome, three weeks later... Yay, it is growing! I'm always excited like it's my first one!
Best,
Igor |

Thanks Marc!
I don't know if I've already asked the same question... What kind of pest this actually is? Is it a larvae or its adult stage? Do they do any harm to citrus trees?
There is a bunch of them, and they seem to be multiplying at a very fast rate.
And my "Sanguineum Pernambuco" blood orange in bloom... It's an Italian variety which I've never had a chance to taste nor have I heard/found anything about...
Last year I lost its crop due to the wind gusts, let's hope this year brings a better luck.
Best,
Igor |
