It's either the Mandarin or the Orange. One of them got lost during the drought and the tags fell off ages ago so we can't remember which one... It's covered in fruit, though, so not too long of a wait.

Dwarf Orange - Cara Cara (Grafted)

Comments: -

Plant arrived in Feb 2020 in great condition with soil still damp. Will plant this into a pot after 1-2 weeks outside and provide updates.

May 2020 - Has had one flush of growth since potting - new growth was damaged by citrus leafminer. 

Sping 2020 - Flowered & set fruit which later dropped.

September 2021 - Is now in 25L pot. Has put on a flush of new growth and flowers (will knock these off). Has grown the fastest of my dwarf citrus - likely would have grown more if not allowed to set fruit last year. Has survived 2x Toowoomba winters outside (under shade cloth so frost couldn't settle).

Dwarf Orange - Lanes Late (Grafted) ^9/10

Comments: -

Because I enjoy eating navel oranges so much I am looking to get as long a fruit in season as I can. I now have Washington Navel, Navelina and Lanes Late Navel. So that should wrap the season up pretty well. April 2015: New growth and small flowers. The growth will stay but the flowers will be taken off.

June 2016.This tree has struggled since it was planted and I have now removed it from the ground and placed it in the tub and treated it with root rot killer. It has taken a while to recover (Dec 2016) but is now doing well, puttiing on new growth.

Time to go back in the ground

Dec 2017 It is still in its pot but this year has set fruit.. about a dozen.

Dwarf Orange - Navelina (Grafted) ^5/10

Comments: -

Only a young tree.  Has struggled a little as I moved it after a few months as I (and it) was not happy with the original location.  Seems to be coming back and I anticipate good growth over the next 12 months.

I let the sweet potato take over a bit and drown out this tree a little.  Have just cut it back so am hoping it will struggle on - may replace it I think as I am losing patience.

OOPS - HAS DIED.

Comments: - Such a pretty tree.  I have Dwarf citrus lining my pathway.  It fruited the first season in the ground and I got 3 oranges.  I picked them too early - definitely keep them on the tree for longer.  I picked the first one begining of August 2014 when I planted End of 2013. I would wait until September to pick.  I have about 20 small oranges currently developing on the tree
