Not at all...In fact be lucky your getting all that nutrient rich filled rain. I've gotten nothing for weeks and if I am right, that forecast is just a bunch of hogwash at least for my area. All I got was light drizzle and now it's stopping. I would beg for rain and down pours, but the martians sitting on top of the trees here keep sending all that in another direction..lol

Zomick, we have the same forecast. Don't worry if you have your trees in 5-1-1 or gritty. I worried about that in the spring when it rained for days on end. My trees were just happy and green. Where are you?

As Laura said, the only time to begin to consider RAIN a problem is in the earlier part of the Spring when the temps are still low outside, and the rain can stretch into days of heavy, soaking rains (which we, btw, did NOT have this year at all). After WEEKS (MONTHS actually) of rather severe drought, I am sure the Citrus are LOVING the rain. The only thing is, is that the soil and container must drain. While I do not use gritty mix on my Citrus, it should be an advantage if you tend to be an "over waterer". As an aside, I notice that many of the pictures posted on this forum show Citrus at various stages of chronic under watering. Don't know why a lot of people seem to think Citrus are averse to water. But maybe it is difficult to generalize about watering because it depends on a lot of factors (inside v. outside!, sun, HEAT, humidity, SOIL, precipitation, CONTAINER SIZE!, etc...). During the last 10 days with temps in the mid to upper 90's, I have had to hose mine down every day. In the meantime, enjoy the rain, which for whatever reason, does seem to result in more growth than tap water.

If you have your tree on a saucer, best to remove it or change it to a broader, flatter saucer, so the tree roots at the bottom will not be standing in water.

thanks brian thats good to hear

I recently started a thread about rain too if you are interested.

Zomick, I just posted on Hobby's thread. One of the things I do is add Oscomote plus to my trees. That way, if it rains, they still get additional nutrition.
