Wow, Todd, you're the citrus king

Good that your palm recovered so quickly.

And that D.spinulosum's flush is lovely, especially with its pup flushing too.
Well done.

Hope the dogs are in your good books again!

Ya no kiddin' ... everything looks great!!! Do you give away or sell any extra citrus fruit that you can't use? With the high cost of gas, people here are looking locally but even that isn't cheap sometimes. Thanks for posting.

Cheers, Barrie.

Todd, looking good. Great flushes and awsome citrus.

Thanks everyone. Barrie I give bags of citrus to my neighbors & my kids friends always come by asking for some as well.

Trying to figure out why this Calamondin orange has hardly any leaves each year around this time.
Any tips?

The other two Calamondins seem better. Could it be the difference between plastic and clay pots?

Thanks

What are you fertilizing with, Barb?

Dean

lucky1 · Post by **lucky1** » Fri Jun 20, 2008 8:31 pm

Used a weak solution of 20-20-20 when it finally warmed up this year.

The first pic doesn't show the new leaves that are emerging.
The other two plants get the same care at the same time.

Interseting! I don't know what else to say besides the watering regime. Maybe, Todd, will answer you here.

Looks like a nutrient deficiency. If you keep these plants above freezing all year, I would fertilize them year round. It also looks like that plant is a rooted cutting with all the branches coming up from the soil.

lucky1 · Post by **lucky1** » Sat Jun 21, 2008 9:01 am

Good point about a rooted cutting.
It's sure different than the other two, but it's
putting out a ton of blossoms, probably because it's not thriving.
Thanks.

It's going to take a full year to get some orange fruit on this calamondin orange.

I'll take Todd's advice and fertilize more regularly.

Guard dog on duty! Your citrus is safe Barb

How's your Calamondin doin' now?

Cheers, Barrie.

lucky1 · Post by **lucky1** » Sat Sep 20, 2008 6:58 pm

It must've known what Todd said

, coz half of it croaked the next day.
I've had it for eons; it just never thrived.

Todd was right, several rooted cuttings.

But the twin Calamondins (beside the dog) are doing great.

The dog's probably hoping they're limes for the Corona...
