meiwa fruits on 31 month old seedling tree

second flush

2 years ago my NZL flowered and set fruit. It flowered again and set fruit then dropped the big fruit to keep the fruit-lets. It flowered again add dropped the fruit-lets for the new flowers, it flowered again and dropped older flowers and twig died back. I broke every flower bud off for 2 more flowerings and saved 10% of the tree. These new flowers got broken off when the are barely visible and the flower in the picture was also removed.

Dave two thumbs up !!!!!

Steve very nice !!!!!!

Beautiful robust Fukushu, I can't believe that's not bearing yet, I did notice at least one thorn which I've never seen on mine

Excellent!!

Dave

Are your clem yuz getting close to picking.

The bud on my grafted Fukushu came from my seed grown fukush. node cout of that bud was 53

Fukushu stands 6 feet tall. The leaf at the base of the tree is 4 years old. The branch that continues out is 3.5 to 3.75 years old. The tree has flowered 1 flower 2 years ago, 2 flowers last year and 12 flowers this year with 0 fruit set each year. This will be its 4th winter in ground outside.

Steve, my Clem-Yuz bloomed a handful of flowers the first time last summer toward the top of the tree -- about 6 feet up (I have no idea what node # that was -- maybe 80).

This year it bloomed much better and also much further down the tree. So something has triggered the lower branches into thinking they were mature. I got good fruit set as well. The lowest fruit is maybe only 2 feet from the soil level.

Last summer I also did some grafting and rooted cuttings of the top-most growth of the Clem-Yuz. They are doing well. I'm hoping I can get a much smaller blooming and bearing plant. The original plant is now about 7 feet high BUT, after I harvest the fruit, I know that I can chop the whole thing back a foot or two since the lower branches are now bearing.

My Clem-Yuz managed to survive planted outside in the ground in Olympia, WA (zone 8a) but it is not doing well. It was never able to leaf out, though it tried. Right now it's completely leafless, except for one extremely tiny deformed leaflet that doesn't look very good. However, the little branches all appear a healthy green color, though strips of grey can be seen due to the winter damage.

It was also a colder winter than usual, so that might be a factor.

Oh, Steve, the Clem-Yuz probably won't be ready until just around first freeze -- maybe mid to late October? Or maybe not until December. I don't know! I tried one the other day and it was full of flavor but very sour! Might make a good Clem-Yuz pie using a key lime recipe, or a good ade drink with lots of sugar! But the fruit should sweeten up later in the fall. The peel has a nice mandarin smell.

Dave, first off such a great job there! Are those the same trees you keep in your garage with lower lights and very cool temps? I love how healthy look and how sounky they grew. Thank you

I guess I may try one of my NZL's green

Steve

it seems like your tree was infected by scal disease.
