Call me impatient, I have a beginners question regarding blossomharvest. I have a Cara Cara that lost fruits after rePotting and a navel, tarocco, gold nugget and page that have not blossomed at all. I know some varieties take well over a year to mature. Is there a table, or anyone (I have a good feeling who might know this ) that can give me hope as to when I might actually get to harvest? The Cara Cara is in the midst of flushing and has many small unopened blossoms and there are a few unopened blossoms on the gold Nugget. I also have an Oroblanco with 4 fruits, has new growth but no new blossoms yet... suggestions? Thank you!

Try the Baches Agrumes site, they list flowering times and harvest times:

Edit: I found a nice chart by Four Wind Growers:

Lemons / Limes / Citrons can bloom year round. Most Oranges / Mandarins / Grapefruit / Pumelo and most other citrus will only flower once a year mostly in late winter to early spring.

Four Winds list Grapefruit as ready in winter. This is true for commercially picked grapefruit. This is also why many people do not like the taste of grapefruit. For the best tasting grapefruit they should be left on the tree until February or March . Late picked Grapefruit develop a much higher level of sugar which produces the optimum taste. - Millet (476-)

Thank you- I guess what I'm really asking isn't so much about when they flower as much as how long a fruit in given varieties take to come to maturity, or your opinion should be harvested.

goro17, as a rule of thumb you can figure 7-9 months, give or take a little depending on the variety and the tree's location. Most of my trees (greenhouse trees in Colorado) bloom the latter part of February, and pretty much set fruit around the 1st of March +-, with maturity from early October to December. Kumquats, due to their hardiness, bloom and set fruit late in the Spring. As Laaz stated lemons, limes somewhat year around, with the main lemon crop in the fall, unless the trees have the water withheld from them to cause a drought bloom, to make the main crop come in Spring/early Summer when their use, and thus their price is the highest. - Millet (476-)

Okay thank you, Millet. So, the fact that the oroblanco and navel, particularly aren't blooming right now, I shouldn't expect bloom until spring and then they'll follow the winter-ish harvest time? What about the Cara Cara, trovita, gold nugget and Meyer (being mainly lemon, I know the answer to that)? They Meyer and Cara are covered in blossoms now...so, they won't be developing fruit and ripening this year? Will it just hang or am I to brace myself to lose anything that sets? I'm sorry I wasn't clear with my question...

Thanks again!
