Grapefruit..
Well I lost my Rio Red this winter and I looked @ the soil and it became very clear why.. Not enough perlite for a pot..
The Grapefruit below is a Ruby Red and is growing like crazy now that it has warmed up. She has several buds on her now fixing to open. She had a setback her 1st winter and spent most of last summer recovering, but looking healthy now.. I'm just glad she's growing above the graft.. :^) |

Re: Grapefruit..
For colder climes there is an advantage to growing citrus when possible from seed. Otherwise you must protect the graft. Many citrus will grow true to seed. One downside is that fruiting takes more years and I am told disease is more of a threat also.

Re: Grapefruit..
Hi everyone,
I am going to do my best to still have a Fall Gathering at my place. It may not be as visually appealing but the fellowship, information exchange, plants and there was something else......hmmm......oh yeah the food will be great!!! Just seeing the flood pictures will be worth the price of admission. What's that? Oh sorry I forgot it's still free! My Bananas will be half size since the freeze cut them down but some may have fruit we'll see. I hope to have a flood barrier in place this Summer so maybe if we are not ravaged by a hurricane we will see all of you in the Fall. I hope so.

I, along with many others, have been very concerned. (Yes, I am nobody you know IRL but I have been anxiously watching for you to return--you're back--perhaps a bit upended but YEAH!)

Re: Grapefruit..
I'll still be a bit infrequent but I'll definitely recover and I really appreciate everyone's thoughts, well wishes and prayers!!!

My single ice cream banana survived the winter and after about seven years finally has a pup. I hope to see some sort of fruit production this year. |
