Hi!
I got another general question that puzzles me.
When we grow a citrus from its seed, the plant should reach maturity before it starts bearing fruits; i.e., it should develop a certain number of nodes. Experts, please, correct me if I am wrong on that... this is what I learned, in particular, from Millet's recent posts.
When rooting a cutting, the tree starts on being "mature" to begin with and may start fruiting right away.
Well, I realize that this is, most likely, over-simplified and, likely, incorrect. Anyway, here is my question: What if the plant established as a rooted cutting has lost its top (say, to a freeze as my Meyer did a year ago) and starts emerging from its roots. What happens to the node count? Will the count start from "node 1"?
Sorry if it is a dumb (or too trivial) question!
