updated trees photos

16 years ago

I am posting photos of the trees I repotted and the trees I purchased July4 of this year. The older meyer was put into 511 mix that did not get screened as I did not know I was supose to and the oroblanco got a personal mix also unscreened of 4bark, 1grrow mulch from kellog, 1potting mix,1pelite, 1pumice (it does not drain quite as fast as the reg. 511 but still drains fast) both are in too big of pots. The newer meyer and lime are still in their original pots and soil. All are getting fr and fe and have dynamite all purpose time release in mix. Notice all the new growth.

Wow!!!! Tons of new growth is right...Lets' blame on your desire to use great mixes for your trees, and your consciousness about free draining soil, and the SUN..We have to give mother nature some credit, right?

Great work and thank you for sharing..

Mother Nature, indeed! And Grandfather Sun! ;)

The Bay Area has finally gotten some decent citrus weather over the past two weeks.
But it was a slow, cool Summer before that....

Thanks guys,
The after winter blues will be the true test to see if I am getting it dialed in. I am still trying to get a satsuma into the gritty mix. I guess I should just let all the new growth go on the oroblanco. There is so much in some places. What do you recommend? Also since I have your ears, if I make some more 511 mix the correct way (screened)) can I totally replace the perlite with pummice? Why do we use lime in the 511 and gypsum in the gritty? Here is a pic of the same meyer just one month ago.
