Hi everyone!
In this topic I would like to show you my citrus trees. I have 18 varieties of citruses.
I already have some of these trees for a few years. I am planting citruses for five years. In Poland winters are hard, so citruses are growing only in containers. In the summer I am taking them out outside.

Citrus aurantium Fasciata


Navelina orange:


Tarocco orange (grafted by me):


Chinotto orange (grafted by me):

mandarin Cleopatra - Citrus reshni (grafted by me):


mandarin Clementine:

Pomandarino (citrus reticulata x citrus sinensis):


lime Pursha:

Very nice trees! Thanks for posting the pictures.

Very nice, Radek! Let us know how you care for them in the winter. I always like to hear how people without greenhouses care for their trees in the winter. Or do you have a greenhouse? I should not assume!

Oh, and grafting at 17 (and younger)! Very impressive!

Barbara

Thanks you very much! In winter I'm taking trees into the specially prepared room. It is basement. Temperature there it about 10 Celsius degrees (50 degrees Fahrenheit). There a fluorescent lamp (36W) is shining instead of the sun. Citrus trees are there from December up to the half of the February. Yesterday trees were brought home. The sun is shining more firmly and trees are starting growth.
For the first time I grafted citruses when I was 15 years old.

nice trees very jealous

Radek,

This is VERY impressive! Congratulations!! I tried my first graft when I was 19 and... failed. So, you are much more thalanted than I am. I am jelous too!

Good luck with your trees!!

Thank you guys! I tried my first graft when I was 13 and it was failed. In Poland we have the good guide "How to graft citruses". I read it and therefore I had the success.
I'm envying you, that some of you can have citruses in ground. Now outside in Poland is - 4 Celsius degrees (25 degrees Fahrenheit). My dream is to have citruses trees in the ground... or to have the greenhouse.

I will welcome our friend from Lithuania! O, so cold!! Yes, it's in Lithuania more coldly than in Poland. Here we are waiting for spring and the summer, but we haven't the snow alredy.

There is a lot of cold arctic air in Russia and eastern Europe now. When does the cold normally moderate in that part of the world? It is mid February and spring cannot be far behind. Does the temperature often drop to -20C in Poland? Here it is over 70F now.

My dream is that people in cold winter climates may someday be able to grow citrus outdoors.

I love the sour orange tree. The European sour orange varieties are really beautiful.

Thank you.
I'd like to tel you, that you have very good information. In Poland winters are most often under the influence of the cold from Siberia. There is moderate climate in Poland. The biggest official record of the cold in Poland is: - 41 degrees Celsius (-41.8° F). It was at 11th of January in 1940. Today at morning there was - 11°C in my city , and at night about - 15°C. However record of the warmth in Poland is: + 40.2° C (104°F). The average annual temperature in Poland is above 7 - 9 ° C. But it depends of the site of my country. For example I live in the wormest area in Poland.
P.S.
I love the sour orange trees too... Have you got "Fasciata" sour orange in USA?
