I have a RofT in NW Houston. (Magnolia) Very sweet and juicy fruit. Hard to peel though so the family continues to buy market oranges. Harumph. It didn't fruit for three years. RCW Nursery told me to fertilize organically three times a summer/fall. I did that and got a bumper crop this year. It may not survive this winter though since I decided not to wrap it. I have an excuse though -- I hurt my back pretty badly and can't walk. I just have to hope it is robust enough to survive. If the roots didn't freeze I have a chance I think.
