Is anyone interested in a citrus thread similar to my big pepper thread?
It would take longer to put together but would have points in companion planting, listing varieties comparing economy of space to yield, scientific research and agricultural practices, using the whole fruit, etc.
I grow and use a lot of citrus and have come across a lot of stuff in my research that is not well known.

@jblue I am! (I have one Myer's lemon tree, so I'd love to learn more about other citrus fruits and trees!)

We grew little lemon tree saplings from grocery store seed. They are still under little domes made of old soda bottles. Next stage is...letting them be in outside air but it is too cold for them to thrive. (^_^)* -

@jblue yes! Down here weโre just on the edge of being able to plant some outside, but the thought of having to move big heavy pots in and out has daunted me.

@jblue definitely! Need a nice plant based stress cleanser

@jblue I would read the heck out of a big citrus thread :)

Yes please!
@jblueThis is amongst my most sought-after garden knowledge! Their growth seems attuned to something unclear compared to most plants I try to grow here. [usda 10a up to 42 deg C so far, 400 m altitude, with many microclimate-compromise niches] I've attempted grafts -- esp of mandarins, and never got any to take. I've got cuttings of mandarin to root and survive for year+ but never thrive. Fire killed the last one. Reluctant to try again till I know more. Several root-stocks waiting. 10 km up the road, there's mature and neglected ones everywhere...

Yep Meyer lemon tree. Growing like crazy. I'd be interested. ๐

Yes please! I have a mystery citrus tree that has never flowered and I'm very curious! -

Yes! We grew citrus trees on our deck in Napa. I covered them when temps. got to freezing, and brought them inside if the cold was prolonged. Other than the old Meyer lemon tree in the ground, they were all exotic. -

I've a lemon tree my daughter planted from lemon pips during COVID
Love to figure out how to help it flower -

@jblue very much so, because I find so much of the citrus informationis just focused on sweet juice & fresh eating, and I know with you, it'll be a much more well rounded set of information.
Mostly I'm looking for rinds, zest, and high acid to use for canning other fruits & as a cleaning ingredient.

@ColmDonoghue @hiisikoloart 1/3 ๐งตcitrus maturity depends on the number of leaf nodes from the base of the plant to its tallest branch. In small fruited varieties (kumquats), maturity arrives early between 40-60 leaf nodes. Larger fruited citrus usually require more 2-4x that. This can take many years.
Citrus breeders cut that time in half by cutting off all side branches of seedlings, forcing the plant to grow only one long stem. They train the long branch to grow
2/3 downwards after a certain height with wires similar to bonsais. Then, they let it grow up again until it reaches the leaf node requirements and it starts flowering. Only after the plant has flowered is it ok to trim it to the size you want to keep it and let lateral branches grow outward. This shaves years off of the time it takes to grow from seed to reach maturity.
Alternatively, you can just graft mature stems onto seedlings. To fruit naturally, a lemon will probably be about 7-8ft tall

3/3 I donโt know regular lemons, but yuzus require around 120 leaf nodes and thatโs about the height when they start flowering. Just whatever you do, donโt trim it until it flowers (unless youโre doing the one long stem method) because it requires this length for the hormonal triggers to tell the plant to stop producing juvenile growth.

@wavesculptor @clew 1/2 ๐งตI really donโt recommend rooted cuttings. They are much more sensitive to drought and climate changes than citrus with taproots. You might also be having trouble with citrus bc youโre in an area where it is cultivated commercially. Southern EU has many citrus diseases that are decimating citrus crops.
You can limit certain diseases (phytophoria) by growing in pots with sterilized soil and growing citrus that is resistant to disease
