That’s pretty cold. Looks like a fighter. Keeping fingers crossed for you. i brought my citrus in tonight.

This large 8+ years old refuses to fruit. I have no hopes of it surviving. I am however curious on its limits though.

Has it survived there past winters? It will be interesting to see how it does. Is it inside the window fram enclosure i recall you showing before?

By the way, i never did get the marumi we spoke about a few years ago. i‘m holding off buying new citrus because we are considering a move further south.

This is the first of 6 years it has no winter protection Its lowest temperature has been 15F It doesn't produce fruit despite putting on a handful of flowers several time a year. I am letting it die to see its cold hardiness. I am going to take cuttings to see if it is still alive.

At 8 years old, it should be getting close to flowering. Most of the mandarins I've grown from seed have taken 8 to 12 years to bloom and eventually, to bear fruit. Sometimes they'll bloom the for a couple seasons before they hold fruit.

Kumquats flower in 2-4 years. Mine started flowering started in its 3rd year. It has flowered every year multiple times. It just won't set fruit. I have high node grafts from that tree to Flying dragon root stock. This tree is 38 months old from T-BUD swelling. It flowers profusely but has not set fruit.

This will be It's replacement if it fruits Otherwise it will be given to someone that wants citrus foliage.

It’s a nice looking kumquat! Probably so close to fruiting. What kind of light does it get?

It is in front of a south facing window with 5 surrounding flood lamps.

Most of the things I say here. Are suggestions because I'm know exper

That sounds like the thing I would do are you trying to push the envelope on the cold hardy citrus

I hope I got the right light type to get my new seeds started

No I am letting this tree die for producing battery acid instead of tasty fruit and very little of it.

That is what u will be doing as a result if it manages to make it

I don't know what lemon variety this is can any body help me

Can anyone tell me the variety of this lemon

It looks like a Eureka or Lisbon

I would like to know the exact. It tastes way too sweet to be an eureka could it be some hybrid between them

Where did you buy it. Is it completely devoid of acid. If so it could be a Millsweet lemon.

I bought the organic lemons at Walmart and all I know they. Don't taste like eureka lemons they are way too sweet for that and less than ten seeds

What variety Is it

You know if your fuksh. Survives the winter Yu would have successfully pushed the cold hardenies. Of that variety of citrus and many. People will be shocked

Ponicirusguy6b452xx

This what it says on the bag

You know if your fukshu survives this winter without protection you will be pushing the cold hardenies of your variety many people will be shocked and amazed. That you pulled off something impossible

sounds like a very ripe lemon grown on Poncirus trifoliata rootstock

Iknow this might be crazy. Sence you live on the the on the Ohio river. Is that sand too fine for lemon seeds

Is the Ohio river beach too fine for lemon seeds

We have clay muck. sand free

I hope the Sand isn't too fine for good growth

Sweep up the sand in your street gutter. That is of good consistency

Here there is no sand there I just got done. Putting some seeds tea leaves will this work

don't know.

Mean I found something you have no knowledge of but I've done my research and it says it will work because the leaves in the tea bags are sterile so will it work

Howard

Give it a try.

Like I said I might find something. That you experts wouldn't try

Can I let my lemon seed dry overnight

Yes. When dry peal the outer casing off the seed and plant in soil that has been heated in a microwave and cooled.
