So... were there any attendees from overseas?

None.

My wife and I attended our first Citrus Expo and we thoroughly enjoed it. Thanks to Stan for the great tour of his Citrus grove and for all the questions I asked. I never realized until a few months ago that anyone could grow citrus as far north as South Carolina. I now realize citrus are being grown even farther north. We live in southeast Georgia about 25 miles north of the Florida State line have tried a few citrus with very little survival, and now I am excited about the new information and education I received at the Expo. Thanks again for all that make this possible and this forum is great.

Billy, it was great to have you and your wife attend! Im so glad you gained some valuable information and look forward to seeing you at future Expos! I would think that you are well on your way to being a full fledged " Citruholic"! lol I was wondering, how did you hear about the Expo ?

Stan I found out about the Expo on this web site I was searching for information on citrus trees and found this forum. When the Expo was listed and it was not that far from S.E. Georgia Imade it a top priority. Thankfully we was able to go and we really enjoyed it.

This forum is so valuable for someone like myself trying to get started.

I missed the Expo this year but I happened to come across these videos from what I believe is a tour of Henry Culberson's yard. Here you see his satsumas, bees, grapes and talks about growing without any chemicals.



The author of this video talks about his citrus booty from the Expo which includes Yuzu, Swingle, Troyer, Changsha, Ichang, Yuzuquat and some others. Surprisingly among what seems to be his top favorites are Troyer and Swingle. I don't find them too awful but most people seem to keep far away from these after sampling them:

Yuzu, Swingle, Troyer, Changsha, Ichang, Yuzuquat ... his top favorites are Troyer and Swingle ?????? - Millet

No Millet...it was Swingler!

He was very enthusiastic, but a bit off on quite a few details...maybe just got confused about what he had tried. He was glowing about Swingle and although we all have different tastes, I don't think that's possible unless it was some rare Swingle zygotic seedling that just happens to have fruit that looks just like it's parent....probably just remembered eating a different fruit.

Forgot to say, thanks for the posting G. Wish I could have gone. Maybe next year.

Great enthusiasm , what were the solar panels for ? If he had tried an older Owari or Xia Shan or a Kishu it would have nice to watch his reaction ! He would like a Meyer Lemon too. Tom
