Morton Citrange seedling from Stan, patience required here

Citrangequat seedling from woodlanders. Has survived in garden with only passive protection. Coming back in. Needs to be broomstick in size if I put it out again, I'll take top cuttings if it gets too tall. Never bloomed. oops wrong pic.

Your plants look very nice. Are those 2 gallon Kilz 2 primer pails.

Costco owari brought back from the dead. I have gotten fruit from this tree. Costco's grower will gives you a tall tree and roots that strangle the tree. This was given a severe root pruning beyond belief last fall and sat idle all winter. I've also loped about 30" off this tree in stages so its now nicely sized for me with low branches. Gave me a few flushes this summer (flushing now) fruit didn't hold but thats OK. I'm happy its now solidly in the pot (I'll probably pull the stake) and popping buds nice and low in the tree. This one actually bloomed and fruited under winter lights and ripened outdoors in summer last year.....then I went to work on it.

Another Costco owari - same deal. This was given a severe root pruning up front only lightly touched the top in early summer. No dieback or leaf loss and still very loose in the pot. No new growth but thats OK. The main stalk up off the graft is in no way capable of holding that tree up. It's too tall and unevenly branched - one side has nothing. I was waiting for it to solidify in the pot before wacking the top down to where its feasible for me long term. Nice fat rootstock long spindly stem. White root pruning pot spray painted white.

Just sharing, I'll finish another day.

This is the seedling thomasville the other was a seedling Morton

A meyer lemon swore I'd never get another one but did

A gerardi dwarf mulberry. Came in a 4" pot. I've repotted approx. Every 30 days 4 times already. This is about a 3 gallon tall. . If you tug the trunk it's already a solid rootball. While I like the vigor it doesn't seem like this is very dwarf

This is gus the fig. This clone comes from huge old daddy that gets zero protection for many years now in a yard in Brooklyn. My friends father took a clone back in the date from petrina greece where grandpa still lives at the family house there. Unaffected even by the vortex winters just too big. I of course have to protect a while.

Bklyn, wow!

How many figs do you get on your trees? Enough to make it worth your while to grow them?

How about blueberries? I have been tempted to try a blueberry bush, but then I live near a farm so much easier for me to let someone else grow them)

I never tried to grow blueberries

I've got blueberries and raspberries in my back yard. They do great in my area and besides feeding with some Holly tone a few times a year they are pretty maintenance free and produce a ton of fruit. The birds are my only problem as they love the blueberries, but they don't touch the raspberries. Next year I have to get some netting to keep the birds out.

I get about 30 or more per arm on my in ground tree (Paolo also named after a friends father, he got it from the northern italy bocce club on 15th avenue brooklyn, of course smuggled in back in the day) and I let 5 upward arms grow this year, plus low new branches and brebas. How many figs (splat - to the bathroom) do you want to eat anyway? I'm mostly main crop which is September, a few ripen daily. I may wrap and keep some longer arms this year just to get a few more Breba in June/July, usually just cut it down to about 30" tall and throw a garbage pail over it. I have 7 blueberries in the ground and 1 Jersey variety in a pot outside my house in a gated concrete sidewalk of yard. I'm sure I'm the first one to ever grow a fruit in a pot on my public sidewalk. I highly recommend them. Most trouble free thing you can own, zero bug or bird problems - zero. No spraying anything ever. Just set them up with regular bagged potting soil, add hollytone and sulphur organic with occasional miracid and let it rip. Most in the ground in backyard are Chandler variety (worlds record holder in size) a large berry highbush that ripens a few daily over an extended period for waist high picking. Also a few Jersey which is a low bush old school variety, prolific, mostly ripen all at once, smaller berry with old school berry taste a bit of tartness. If you thin the berries all get bigger.

I had raspberries for a while. Not big on the taste and nasty thorny things and it took a while to get rid of them. I made the move to thornless Blackberry Chester variety. Took 3 years to fully settle in but bumper crop this year. Some of those arms get like 20 feet long so I run them along a chain link fence.

I usually cut those arms down. May wrap to get some breba.
