MaryT says... yry I do not drive a car so ducks are quite safe from me but I must admit not to be God fearing. :) I thought God is supposed to be loving and merciful. However, I will not be merciful to the tangelo if it does not perform SOON. All my citrus are doing well except for it and the grapefruit Hornoff's (?) surprise. | About the Author MaryT Sydney 14th August 2013 6:23pm #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

JakfruitEttiquette says... Citrus varieties grafted on Trifoliata rootstock are somewhat more cold tolerant than Citrus grafted on any other rootstocks. Those grafted on Trifoliata Flying Dragon dwarfing rootstock are even a bit more cold tolerant. Japanese Satsuma mandarins on Trifoliata are one of the most cold tolerant combinations of truly edible Citrus. A tangelo on Trifoliata or FD may be better suited for you. Ballarat has some of the lowest winter temps in Vic, well into the minus'C's, it gets much colder than most of Vic. Frost is going to be worse than cold alone for your tree. Your exact location may moderate or worsen effects of cold. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette 15th August 2013 6:58pm #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT1 says... I went outside to give my tangelo tree another warning after eating a delicious meal size fruit (3 for $1.70 at Paddy's) and it seems to have flower buds on it. I had given it a severe prune; maybe that helped. No idea what the rootstock it and there's nothing I can do about it now anyway. | About the Author MaryT1 Sydney 16th August 2014 1:16pm #UserID: 7655 Posts: 296 View All MaryT1's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT1 says... The tree may yet die, Brain; I lobbed most of the branches off initially as I was going to mulch the tree then I had a change of heart; I find it hard to kill a tree :) In any case I'd taken a couple of cuttings from it and they're still going so if the tree lives you can have the cuttings if they take. | About the Author MaryT1 Sydney 18th August 2014 3:38am #UserID: 7655 Posts: 296 View All MaryT1's Edible Fruit Trees |
