JGreen starts with ... Hi everyone, Could I please have your 2 cents regaring My flying dragon rootstock? It doesn't look healthy/well. This is around 2 months after receiving it. It was fine when I received it but now it looks like this. Is it due to transplant shock? Root burn? Lack of watering? Over watering or is it normal response to winter and it'll bounce back in Spring? Many thanks in advance.

jakfruit etiquette says... Flying Dragon is a type of Poncirus trifoliata. Its a hardy Citrus relative, so it is winter deciduous. The autumn leaves are normal at this time of year. Part of the dwarfing character of FD is its longer winter dormancy than other PT types. You can make your FD grow bigger faster by keeping it warmer to stop it going into dormancy too early, and warm it up to come out of dormancy sooner. Another tip is to not clip the thorns, as they can photosynthesise before the leaves return. If the plant is dormant, don't overwater in winter, but don't underwater either. The longer winter dormancy also means it won't be the first to take off in spring. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette gotham city,3000,Vic 28th April 2021 8:04pm #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |
