Anybody know what is up with the citrus forum?

Is there one?

I have tried to make a case for Fortunella japonica (Thunberg) Swingle, a very attractive, cold hardy
citrus suitable for pot raising here: http://www.bananas.org/f8/seeds-qu-t-possibly-most-attractive-15156-3.html

The problem with them is, that they have to go into the ground very soon after they are harvested,
as, I believe now, applies to all citrus. As a result only the first badge planted germinated and my plan
to spread out the seeding process over time, even years, failed.

I believe they have to go into the soil within three or four weeks after leaving the fruit. (Being spat
out :ha:)

I will head again to Vietnam this winter and will certainly bring more seeds back for myself. Here
in Canada I am okay to bring back up to 500g of them, but in the US there is probably a problem.

I have no problem sending some there, though :)




Best,
Olaf

Skeet the Citrus forum has been having very serious issues for a while now. This is the longest that it has been down I believe. It is up right now as I write this. Laaz can't access all the old data to move it to a new host. We are effectually being held hostage.

Does that refer to a citrus forum on a different website? If it is dysfunctional, why not
continue discussions here?

Yes, here's a link: Citrus Growers Forum :: Index (http://citrus.forumup.org/index.php?mforum=citrus)
