Received as a gift in Nov 2005. Made Liquer in 2007, marmalade in 2008 but vinegar flies ruined the fruit in 2009. 2010 irregular fruit ripening and a lot of fruit drop. So I gave it a major prune, reshape before spring. For Liquer I infuse the fruit in vodka (there are other recipes that use higher % alcohol!) which I try to leave for over 3 months. I've experimented with both cut fruit and whole, results to be tasted soon. I squeeze the juice out of the fruit and filter it through some cloth. I then make up a 50-50 sugar and water syrup (heat till disolves). If I have 1L of infused vodka, I add about 330mL syrup (when cool). A week or more after bottling (sterilize first) it tastes great cold.

Growing: In a Pot

Question:

Dropping a lot of near ripe fruit in June. Any tips to try and manage harvest time?

Fruit remaining on trees hinders bud developemnt, so pull off when ready ie as they sweeten up or the will regreen and stop the next lot of fruit buds being initiated.

thanks jimmy - they never reverted back to green. They were green for most of winter and turned orange early spring. I don't think thats normal. Maybe too little sunlight in autumn? Alternatively, maybe it flowered late or lost early flowers to a hotspell? I'm keeping up the water with flowers on now and will move in autumn if needed, so hopefully this time will be ok.
