Joe:
As to your question on how is the OB growth in my area?
Well I am not sure.
They surely are slow growers. I have 2 OB plants. One is very slow and appears to be dying. It used to be very vigorous and the fruits were all over for a 2 1/2foot plant but all of a sudden the branches started browning so I started to trim them until I only have about 3 branches left and I transferred it to a new pot. The leaves appeared to be half wilted for many months but 3 months ago it started perking up. So last week I grafted 3 clemenules on it.
My other OB I just noticed 3 months ago that it is the most green and healthiest of all my citruses during the winter. And EZ's OB are also very green and healthy. I think iEZ's oro's is 2nd fastest grower now barring the Chandler.
