As I am in Colorado (snowed all day today, power out from 7:00AM until 2:30 PM) I only have two trees planted in the ground. A Cara Cara that's blooming, and a Marisol Clementine blooming (for the second time), However, I am pulling all the blooms off of the Clementine to get more growth, instead of fruit. All of my other trees are containerized. - Millet

On top of my head since it is past 10 PM: (But I removed the fruits and the blooms 3 days ago because I am hoping for vegetative growth this year. When I saw the difference in growth of Mr. Texas citrus, I was convinced that that is the only way.

Wow! JoeReal... you put us Eastern Shore citruholics to shame! I hereby nominate you for "Citruholic" of the year award! Thats quite a collection you have going there! Maybe when I get enough sky miles on my credit card... I can just fly out and graze in your grove for a day or two Bencelest, you are 100% right about the fruiting of young trees retarding the growth. Ive put it to the test and just one or two fruits on a small tree will hold back new growth severely. Still, some of us cant resist and just have to let one or two fruits grow on the "newbies" we have just planted.
Ned, I will be down in November to collect a 10 lb sack of Ambersweets! Thanks guys for the reports!

Millet, The edible Flying Dragon is a Flying Dragon x ? hybrid that was brought to me by a friend from Texas a few years back. She brought budwood of the hybrid FD and the Republic of Texas Orange. I have both growing in pots. I have never tasted either, and am hoping to get a fruit this year. I don't expect much out of the FD hybrid as far as fruit is concerned, but it has made an interesting looking plant.

Yep, Joe's got it bad alright, but I will tell you for a fact that Stan McKenzie did not come close to listing all of his citrus, and I know at least one other person that didn't either.

In SC, liqour stores used to be identified with a red circle, or dot, painted on the store (may still be, after reaching a certain age, I lost interest in "Red Dot Stores"). Guess my point is that Stan's little nursery should be an "Orange Dot Store" - for Citraholics!

Ned

Stan, Thanks, I'm honored. I'm not really that citruholic, because my selection is just an illussion. I only have 10 citrus rootstocks planted in the ground and have about 80 cultivars todate, with one tree having about 42 varieties within a month. I have tiny yard, so citrus grove is only a dream.

Joe, Stan might be right. Forty-two trees on one rootstock has to be some kind of record, and is considered quit an accomplishment hereabouts. I second Stan's motion.

Ned

Here's what I have in bloom or about to bloom.

In Bloom:
Bearss Lime (when isn't it in bloom?)
Algerian Clementine
Cara Cara

Flushing buds and new growth:
Dancy
Owari
Ortanique
Meyer
Moro
Tarocco
Lisbon

Waiting in the wings:
Valencia #1003049
Pixie
Femminello St. Teresa
Corpaci

I really should take Ben's lead and pinch the buds and fruitlets off at least my Cara Cara, Dancy, and Owari. The Cara Cara already lost this year's first flush of leaves to an ill timed application of Safer insecticidial soap. If and when the Valencia and Pixie bud out this year, they should get pinched as well. Too tempting not to though....

By the way, everything is in containers out of doors.

Laaz, I actually have 70 more different varieties of citrus, but they are all containerized trees. - Millet

Deleted duplicate post. Not sure how that happened, must have left a window open I wasn't aware of.
