So it was warm today, 50 lol

I took the blankets off of 1 of my enclosers and to my surprise I one of the meyers have 5 ripe (orange ) meyers!! not sure how I missed the green ones in the fall, but it was a great surprise

the trees had minor frost damage but fine in general

the other areas which are still covered have 1-2 feet of snow

If I get chance I will take a pic tommorrow

Congratulations on your fruit production. You seem to have excellent cold protection and hopefully you will have more success in the future. This gives great inspiration for those who want to grow citrus outdoors in cold climates!

Wow, Frank, incredible work you're doing up there. I've heard the phrase "zone pushing" used to describe growing plants in a climate a little different than what they'd normally like, but I think you could literally write the book on the subject!

Let's all hope for an early spring and a long growing season for your trees this year.

Uncovered my thomasville citraquat, and found 8 ripe ones, contrary to what I hear they are quite good, no after taste and grow fast

Frank

trees starting to leaf out, so far on the thomassville has noticable flowers (that havent opened yet). It still has about 12 unripe fruit from last season

Pictures Please!

Thomasville Citrangequat, are not the best tasting fruit, but if they are left on the tree to become REALLY mature, than they taste somewhat like a lime, and could be used to flavor fish, salads, or even eaten out of hand. However, the taste was not good enough for me to keep, so I eventually tossed the tree onto the compost pile as I just did not want to keep taking care of it. But Thomasville would be one of the better trees for cold areas where citrus will not grow, the tree with enough protection could make it through the winter. - Millet (617-)

Well some of the ones that wintered were yellow/orange in the spring, they were quite good. I had a green one last night and it was fair. No aftertaste but no real zing.

Mine seem to just fine with a lot of love/protection.

I will take some pics when they flower out and hopefully blossom out

thanks Frank

I just picked my first immature citrangequat off of my tree. They are still somewhat small and green. This is the first year it has fruited. To me, it tasted just like a lime. I was very pleased. I can't wait to use them in a Corona.

I have fruit on the tree from this and last season. they seem to taste fine when there isa tint of yellow on the external rine. The ones I have from the spring are nickel size,,,,,, I just got a huge bloom so there is like 100 fruit on the tree

I love the tree!

When they are yellow and fully ripe, do they sweeten up any?

yes they do, a lot better than when green

the fruit from this year is bigger than a marble, it seems to flower most of the summer..............

Last March I had 10-20 yellow/orange ones on my tree

Today I made ade juice from some of my citrangequats. I let my wife and kids try some. It was so good, the kids were begging me to make more. Unfortunately, I would quickly use of the fruits on the young tree. So, this will be a rare treat this summer. I look forward to next year when there will be a lot more fruits to use. Still, liking my Thomasville.

out of all my inground trees I get the most fruit from the citraquat by far

lol we had a frost last night and it didnt bother the flower..........
likely 50 fruit on the tree
