Skinn, if the numerous buds you are writing about are flower buds, then that is not a good sign for the future. - Millet

That was what pushed me to cull mine. It was loaded with flower buds. It's last desperate act at propagation.

You guys have my sympathy. I've been there years before losing a Washington navel, Meyer lemon, and Bloomsweet grapefruit. Somewhere I mentioned that I am a terrible gardener.

Better tomorrows,

David

So putting out lots of flower buds is a last gasp reaction eh? I have an unknown orange tree doing that. Doesnt seem unhealthy except for the lack of leaves, which remain nice and green but not many left. I think the deer had a big role in this one. They dont usually mess with my citrus(theres a 2 year old Shiranui and a bushy unknown kumquat within 30' of it) but this one tree seems to have their attention once they denuded my persimmons and peach trees in the area. I'll be fencing anything I end up putting in its place. Hoping it will recover, its the first tree I bought when I moved in.
