Manfred says... Grafted citruses can produce in their first year, but it is advisable not to allow it. Pull all the flowers off so that the tree can develop a good shape or the fruit will pull down the bearing branches and you will end up with a multi-stemmed bush rather than a tree. Branches grow upright along the fruiting branches which have been dragged down. It is tempting to let them fruit, and if you have enough room you might let some fruit and shape others for the long-term, but if you only have room for one of each, the wait is worthwhile. I was one of those who allowed my citruses to fruit early, but now I am an implacable fruit-remover. I have succeeded in rehabilitating some mandarine trees by savage pruning but my lemonade will never be any good. | About the Author Manfred tully 13th October 2016 10:16am #UserID: 9565 Posts: 243 View All Manfred's Edible Fruit Trees |
Markmelb says... dont remove any flowers as plant will drop on its own what it refuses to hold anyway - if it hold 1 or 2 or more for its size you get a taste - but that taste will get better year by year if fed small amounts monthly - go look at some gardening australia shows from a few months ago. that fella grows commercially in big pots and prunes like citrus are roses - well almost | About the Author Markmelb MOUNT WAVERLEY,3149,VIC 13th October 2016 6:04pm #UserID: 7785 Posts: 1192 View All Markmelb's Edible Fruit Trees |
