Dwarf Orange - Cara Cara (Grafted)

Comments: -

Plant arrived in Feb 2020 in great condition with soil still damp. Will plant this into a pot after 1-2 weeks outside and provide updates.

May 2020 - Has had one flush of growth since potting - new growth was damaged by citrus leafminer. 

Sping 2020 - Flowered & set fruit which later dropped.

September 2021 - Is now in 25L pot. Has put on a flush of new growth and flowers (will knock these off). Has grown the fastest of my dwarf citrus - likely would have grown more if not allowed to set fruit last year. Has survived 2x Toowoomba winters outside (under shade cloth so frost couldn't settle).

Very tasty fruit and the kids love it. Juice is very nice as well.

Also the fruit can be used in a lot of cooking recipes.

I am also curious as to how well it dehydrates.

Grumichama - Orange (Seedling)

Comments: - Very ornamental glossy leaves. Cold tolerance is better than the Black Grumichama. Growing in Melbourne lost 50% of leaves outside in first year, compared to the Black Grumichama which completely defoliated (but recovered by Summer). Not expecting it to fruit anytime soon, but is a fairly vigorous grower.

Growing strongly, nice glossy shrub. Fruit quite nice, but mostly seeds. Was moved to a less crowded spot after being shaded by native raspberries, but it didn't like the sun, so moved back now.

Orange - Arnold Blood (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: -

Planted November 2015 so too young to be able to review anything yet. It's currently in full sun. I water almost daily depending on weather. I planted in a 75 litre planter bag with a BIG bottom layer of course grade pine bark then kind of equal amounts of good quality potty mix, coir peat, perlite and a shovel of organic pellets mixed through.

 A really good layer of small pine bark on top.

Looking forward to trying these :)

Oct 2019 update - It was the first season I let them fruit this winter just gone. Theyre flowering/fruiting again. They were absolutley beautiful! Sweet and juicy and just wow! I cant wait till they get bigger so I get a bigger yield. I recently repotted to their forever home pots, 160 litre pots with a good mix of peat moss, perlite and vermalite.
