Default Re: 50-n-1 citrus tree partially loaded with fruits!!!

Man, that's a lot of choices on one tree! I planted 9 different citrus trees of 9 different kinds (not counting the two different lemons from the previous owner). My Satsumas, Oro blancos, and Rubys are almost ready. This is my first year for a crop, and I can hardly wait.

And your watering schedule is very intensive...I water about once a month for about 8 hours with the PC drippers. I prolly should water every 2 weeks...

I mulch with chipped prunings from my decidous fruit trees and the friggin' fruitless mulberry my wife won't let me remove because "it's such a good shade tree".

I could add drippers and cut back on the time, but I haven't gotten a round to-it yet. I couldn't imagine changing the schedule every 2 weeks...
