Pat starts with ... Does anyone know if the Pride of Glen Retreat mandarin is still available commercially. It is a small mandarin - has lots of seeds, but very sweet with very thin skin. Maybe it goes under a different name now or maybe not sold any more.

Carla VanDeBeek says... Just 2 weeks ago a customer came into Daley's retail shop and raved about his Glen Retreat. The only difference between your's and his is - few seeds, bright orange size fruits and crops in late July. If all goes well we may have this variety available next year.

Rick says... Pat, there is a nursery in QLD that sells that variety. Quick search and you will find it. Gil, Confidor is systemic and the active ingredient is a neurotoxin. It was developed from nerve agents used in WW2. There are a lot safer things to use on edibles. Actively pushed on gardening programs as the solution to kill any or all pests.

Gil says... Thanks Rick. Owned by Orica, yes? Yates specifically mention Glen Retreat mandarins shouldn't be hit with Confidor. I wonder why that cultivar gets a mention and no others?

Chris says... Gil, that is interesting. Please let us know what Yates' reasoning is. I wouldn't use Confidor on any of my citrus too. It is also suspected of causing colony collapse disorder (CCD) in bees. What is it that you need to spray for?

Chris says... Probably has to do with phytotoxicity then if that is the case. The variety must be very sensitive to oil sprays. Too many applications on citrus can prevent the tree from transpiring.
