Anyone looking for Flying Dragon seed, I have a bunch of fruit ready. For forum members I'll do three fruit for $10 + $6 priority shipping

That would be about 100 seed give or take. Laughing

I have 6 flying dragon seedlings that have been about 6" tall for two to three months with little to no growth, real painfully slow growers. I spoke to the owner of 4 winds the other day, (I do not recall her name though) and she said most growers are getting away from FD. To much work and the root stock tends to outgrow the scion at the graft, looks ugly.

I know its early Laaz, but I dont suppose you have a Meiwa Kumquat that will have Kumquats with seeds in a couple months, do you? All I need is a Meiwa to complete the Kumquat cycle.

No, I really don't eat kumquats. The only two I have are the Changshu & Centennial.

The owner of Four Winds Growers is Dillon. You probably were talking to Carrie. - Millet

Millet you are right, it was Carrie. She was telling me her family was part of it for many many years, so I might have assumed more so than heard. Nice lady, gave me lots of good insight on what to order between the Santa Theresa vs. Limenero Fino Lisbon Lemon.

I actually like my trees on FD the best. Small trees with great taste & plenty of fruit. It just takes a bit long for the trees to get to size.

Even my Sanbokan on FD that my neighbors daughter ran over with her car years ago has over 100 fruit this year.

I feel sorry for you Laaz. You must have some really weird neighbors, who surely deserve to be a target practice. Laughing

Laughing I agree. Her parents were away & she was having a party & was drunk. Her car was blocked in so she couldn't back up... So she pulled forward and drove through my yard to get out to the street.

That's good to know, that head ranger at the citrus state park here in riverside strongly recommended fd for the small tree size vs large amount of fruit and that everything grafted to it becomes cold hardy, even though it's never colder than 60 degrees far here. I'm not sure outside of it being more difficult why growers don't like using it.

I'll pm you when I get back from vacation about getting an order and compensating you for the california prep fee Very Happy To remove the seeds from the fruit. My lemon collection would be best on fd,unless there are compatibility issues.

Eureka is the only lemon I know of that doesn't take well to trifoliata.

Hi Laaz,

I'd love a couple fruit. Let me know a paypal address or however you want to handle this.

Got any instructions on planting the seeds? How many to a pot and such?
