Julie starts with ... Anyone wanting the above please email me with your address: julwood at iprimus dot com dot au. I know there are 30-40 people wanting them by now, so please be patient - I can only do a few at a time. They have to be fresh, so I will do a batch before a trip to the post office. I have lost all my computer info (it's there somewhere, but can't retrieve it till someone fixes it), so don't have any of the addresses sent to me. Oops!.

Julie says... Can't believe it! I had to cut up about 30 fruit to get a dozen seeds today. What on earth is going on? Is this a mineral deficiency or what? Seville usually have lots of seeds, which help the marmalade to set. Most of the oranges either had no seeds, or very tiny undeveloped seeds. Lots of fruit, but smaller than usual. So I could only post to two people today - hopefully more next week.

Julie says... Mary welcome back!, I plan to do just that, though I'm not sure it will help. denise, I've had this tree for about 18 years, and it has produced fruit with plenty of mature seeds every year but last year, and now. Would still like to know if it is a mineral deficiency. There is also something I've never seen before - looks like severe snail damage,but isn't. I'll try and post a pic. | About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 17th August 2012 7:53pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... Thanks, Mike and Julie; it's good to be back (albeit to more than a few casualties in the garden; still counting the losses). Sigh. Julie my citrus are not as consistent as yours and I'm getting used to their on and off temperaments. I have to be philosophical especially as I am trying to grow trees in pots. On a happy note my kumquat which was barren last year is now covered in flower buds. Fingers crossed. Brendan I use all my citrus in different combinations for marmalade - oranges, lemons, kumquats, lemonade, limes, mandarins and tangelo - depending what shows up. They don't mind mingling :) | About the Author MaryT Sydney 18th August 2012 9:01am #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... Thanks, Mike. I think I need to get the garden back to ship shape before adding to it; you're right, I should also wait till it's warmer. Freezing wind today; though sunny. Simon if Brendan does not come back with a recipe just use any orange/lemon/lime marmalade recipe depending on how sweet/sour the fruit is. | About the Author MaryT Sydney 18th August 2012 2:07pm #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

Xiem says... For those interested in marmalade recipes, I attach my own. I should call it a "rough" seville marmalade recipe; not because I use rough sevilles but because it is a rough recipe. Regardless it works fine for me.

Xiem says... That didn't work so I will type it: Seville Orange Marmalade Wash a kilo of seville oranges and two lemons With a sharp knife carefully cut the zest from the oranges and slice it finely Juice the "shaved" oranges and the lemons. Add the sliced zest to the juice. Set aside. Boil the leftover squeezed fruit, comprising skins, pith and seeds in about two litres of water for an hour or more until the pectin is released (no requirement for muslin bag). Strain the fruit mush from the pectin liquid. You will end up with roughly one litre of juice/zest and one litre of strained pectin liquid Add these together with sugar to taste (about 750g but up to a kilo if a sweet mix is desired) Boil until setting point and jar up. | About the Author Diego 22nd August 2012 1:45pm #UserID: 4715 Posts: 283 View All Diego's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... Hey you guys Leschenault was named after the FRENCH botanist Jean Baptiste Claude Théodore Leschenault de la Tour (1773 - 1826) - "Botanist on the voyage of the Géographe and Naturaliste (Baudin, 1801 - 1803), which visited the north-west, west and south coasts of Western Australia, coastal South Australia, Port Jackson, New South Wales, and King Island in Bass Strait. Leschenault later visited Java, Cape Verde Islands, Cape of Good Hope, India, Sri Lanka, Brazil and British Guyana..." | About the Author MaryT Sydney 20th September 2012 6:58am #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |
