No such thing as Tahitian lemon. Its actually Persian lemon, It was evolved in Southern Iran hundreds of years ago. Americans renamed it. That guy is a great man.
I have my first myer lemon in this year, its full of buds/fruit. Now I guess I will have to take them off to help tree grow bigger, maybe leave just one yeah. A bigger yield will be better than a quicker fruiting.
Great I just got my first kara kara orange tree which is in full bloom and was wondering if I should remove the flowers to allow it to establish so that's real handy to know.the flowers are some of the nicest I have smelt,yum
Hi John! Love watching your video. I’ve got three kumquat trees growing in the containers and their leaves are yellow and small. Please give me some advice 😊 I need to prune those trees badly because the branches are all over the place and taking all the nutrients. Would you please tell me when is the best time to prune and what are the best fertiliser for kumquat tree? When is best time to give fertiliser. Oh I forgot to tell you that I live in Melbourne. Thank you very much Sir
It depends on the rootstock. If the lemon is grafted on a flying dragon then you can plant them 1m apart. Grafting on a regular poncirus trifoliata, 1.5m. If you use a Carizzo c35 citrange, then you need more space. Apparently this guy wants his plants small, so he only uses trifoliates and dragons.
It’s mentioned if you watched the whole video, but for the sake of saving you time it’s trifoliate orange and trifoliate orange “flying dragon” for pot/dwarfing purposes
The selected rootstock makes a more versatile and resilient tree. Plus by grafting a mature full size tree bud onto a dwarf rootstock, the overall growth of the tree from that bud is limited to the size of the tree rootstock it was grafted to. This is ideal for tight spaces, pots and those who don't want the full size tree. Of course not all grafts are dwarf to limit their size, they'll graft for a full size rootstock and therefore tree anyway because of that added resilience and versatility.
@@ErraticPerfectionist I didn't realise that but makes sense; the source tree grafted on is going to be older/more mature than when you grow fully from seed. So you're already ahead from a tree the same size started from seed (mature tree on rootstock vs young tree from seed still maturing as it grows)
