MaryT says... Everything is new and exciting when you are a novice Fruity Tootie and you are not alone: that's why it's so great to be able to learn from experienced growers on this forum. Sometimes I feel that the learning of new things is more satisfying than the growing––you can learn a lot faster than the plants can grow (hopefully hahaha) | About the Author MaryT Sydney 30th September 2011 5:47am #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... Help! Does anyone know why my oranges are still green, when they are usually ripe around October? This has never happened before. We have had a cool, wet spring, but that has happened before and not affected the fruit. With so many people wanting seeds, it's frustrating to keep saying 'no, not ready yet'. | About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 17th November 2011 8:06pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |

Phil@Tyalgum says... Interestingly if oranges are left on the tree too long they will "regreen", even tho they are ripe they take on a green colour from the orange we are familiar with. The further north you go the less likely you are to come across orange oranges, most grown in the tropics are naturally green.

Julie says... But this has never happened before! And my other citrus - mandarin, lime and Navel orange - were OK. The Valencias are looking a bit odd. It is colder where I live (hills) than in Perth, generally at least a couple of degrees colder at night. They haven't 're-greened', as they never got to be orange in the first place! So it's a mystery to me. | About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 18th November 2011 8:36pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... Julie - I reckon it's been a really "stop-start" season this year..? I have found the NIGHTS much warmer this winter and I 'think' this has had a big impact maybe..? I know this because I go outside first thing in the morning for a cuppa and fag...I have hardly used my wool coat this year. I really think it's the overnight temps that are mucking things up. "Chill" is usually achieved overnight..? Everything just "feels" really upside down this season to me..? My fruit are all out of whack - passionfruit ripening whilst I am picking plums for eg..?

MaryT says... Julie I 'm in Sydney but I have the same problem with citrus staying green - they seem to take FOREVER to colour. I tend to agree with Amanda, the warm winter is not giving the trees the proper signal. I don't know. My biggest worry is the bees disappearing. I usually walk through clouds of them - where have they gone? | About the Author MaryT Sydney 19th November 2011 6:49am #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... I think this is the guy who emailed me re his seeds not germinating. His post is addressed to anyone on the forum who may have spare seedlings. I don't know who has spares, so I suggested he post on the forum to find out.

aussiebushman says... All is well thanks Jantina - the package arrived today! The seedling seems to be in excellent condition with the paper wrapping still damp. It is now planted in a medium sized pot of premium grade potting mix and well watered with rainwater and a little Seasol - I hope the latter was sensible?

aussiebushman says... Not sure if this is the right forum but if anyone can supply a Meyer Lemon seedling it would be much appreciated. This is a heavy frost area -10C and I understand this is the only type that will survive these conditions Bunnings had a well established plant but at $90 they can keep it!

MaryT says... Alan, here's the link to Meyer lemons at Daleys - they are our host so we tend to recommend you buy from them if it works for you, but Brain is right; they are commonly found in nurseries everywhere. Anyway Daleys are discounting their freight cost so it may be worth your while to put in an order this month. Their trees are of excellent quality. I've bought many trees from them in the past and have just put in another order. http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/Shop/CitrusLemon__.html | About the Author MaryT Sydney 20th April 2013 7:34am #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

aussiebushman says... Bad new about the Seville Orange seedling, I'm afraid. It survived the winter and was looking good until a late frost absolutely decimated it. I lost some other fruit trees and a Japanese Maple at the same time. I'm embarrassed to ask, but can anyone spare another Seville Orange seedling please? Happy to pay.

aussiebushman says... Hello Julie Thank you. I'll gladly take you up on that offer. Yes the frost was severe. It can go to 10 degrees C below zero here. I had some shadecloth over the most tender plants to try to stop the frost settling. My Meyer lemon lost a few leaves but survived, but not so the Japanese Maple or the Seville Orange. It is not the first time that has occurred after spring growth starts.

aussiebushman says... Hi Julie The seedling probably arrived at Taralga yesterday and was delivered here today in perfect condition. It has been planted, watered and looking happy. The cherry is looking good too, but the lemon less so, but it should survive. We have very poor soil so all the fruit trees are planted in soil enriched with a mixture of rotted cow manure, straw, and potting mix. Here are some pictures for interest Best regards Alan

stuffthatsreal says... Hi Everyone, I have been looking for true Seville orange trees for a while; one for me and one for my mother in law. MIL makes fabulous marmalade but says that she can rarely source the right kind of Seville oranges. I'd love to give her a tree. Would prefer a seedling/tree if anyone has one spare or can tell me where to buy as she is 80. I can wait a few years for a seed/ling. I am in Melbourne. Failing that, does anyone know where I can buy the oranges in Melbourne region? Thanks, Bev | About the Author stuffthatsreal Mt Eliza Vic 1st November 2019 2:48pm #UserID: 21147 Posts: 3 View All stuffthatsreal's Edible Fruit Trees |
