I don't remember ever trying a Corona myself ...
But we have local beers that go well with lemon slices!

My moro tree is growing this unusual siamese twin fruitlet...

Now that is cool, let's hope it holds that fruit.

wow great shot... i think i had such fruit growing on my navel orange last year, but unfortunately it didn't make it through the harsh june drop...

*sigh* I think it's going to be a boring citrus year... the weather just doesn't want to cooperate. Almost all spring it has been too cold for the time of the year, which means all citrus is growing very slow. And the weather isn't getting any better. There's also very little fruit due to the lack of flowers in spring (is this related to the bad summer of last year?). The only plants with fruits from this spring are feminello lemon, salustiana orange an a few moro oranges. I still have a couple of fruits from last year too (one small sanguinelli orange, two star ruby grapefruits, two buddhas hands and a couple of bearss limes).
I had plenty of fruit fom my meyer lemon last year. This year I have nothing...
Strange also: last year I didn't see any citrus mites. This year I already had 3 infestations!

It's just not much fun this way. I'm already starting to think about cutting down the citrus collection to those varieties that do reasonably well in my area and don't grow too fast. Lemons might be a good choice. The feminello keeps pushing new flowers since early spring. It is a rather vigorous grower though.

Maybe I should start looking into something else! How about apple trees?

No Mark, dont give up! I have had the same feeling many times, if the weather is not working in your favor try keeping a small greenhouse and storing them ther until the weather warms. You can controll the amount if water recieved and open/close when weather is not ideal. I do agree with growing varities that are suited for your area.
Also some years just are not good, this just may be one of those years.

I live in the same area ,and under the same conditions as you Mark,but most of my trees are full of new little fruit.
The meyer is by me also late,just starting to flower.
Just updated my photo,s to see the difference in just 3 weeks.

Well... it's not like I don't have anything, but things could be better...

Here's another set of pictures.

Group of larger plants:


...from another viewing point:


Bergamot: lots of small fruitlets, but they aren't growing at all...



Valencia late: lots of small fruitlets, growing very slowly...



Star Ruby grapefruit: still 2 fruits from last season...


Bearss Lime: 2 remaining fruits from last season...


Ruby red clementine: I needed to size this plant down as it was growing too large. Lots of leaves on the outside of the tree but nothing inside, so I decided to cut thoroughly! I'm currently thinking of doing some grafting on this tree. I may turn it into a multi grafted tree if it works!


Poncirus and citrus aurantium seedlings from last year (left) and poncirus seedlings from this year (right):


Group of smaller plants:


Salustiana orange fruitlets. These appear to be the only fruitlets that are actually growing, although the growth isn't spectacular...



Spanish Sanguinelli orange from last year. No trace of blood on the outside. I hope the inside will be colored somewhat; we had quite a few cold nights in the last couple of weeks, so who knows...


Buddha's hand fruits from last season. My buddhas hand doesn't easily set fruit, but it does produce lots of flowers. Many flower buds are forming at the moment.


Chinotto oranges. They are almost fluorescent! But the inside is no good, there's no juice at all!


And here's the twin fruitlet of my moro tree:


Citrus aren't the only trees I'm interested in. I also love beech trees (fagus sylvatica), especially those with the red leaves! The problem with beeches is... they become HUGE in time! It didn't keep me from planting one in my small garden though. Here it is, a weeping purple beech tree:


I love the light shining through those leaves:


This is what the tree looked like when I had just planted it, 4 years ago. The strange thing is, the leaves were a much deeper purple back then...

I had one ripe fruit on my red clementine plant, which dropped off today. Not much red to it though, a bit pink at most...

The whole fruit, golf ball sized:



The inside of the fruit:



The fruit was difficult to peel and the fingers were hard to separate. It was very juicy and sweet with a little acid. Taste was mandarin-ish.

Marc, how often dou you water star ruby? I recently bought one. I have read they need less water, then other citrus.

I usually water when I notice the top layer of the soil is starting to dry. How often that is mostly depends on the weather I guess...
