    I was going back and forth on buying a lemon and kumquat plant. in the past I've killed off my outdoor garden. but I moved this yr and a south facing sunroom and wanted to plant something. So I bought a four foot lemon and two small kumquat trees a month later they are thriving. thanks for the videos

    We are in Palm Springs, so gardening is a challenge. I've moved almost my entire garden to the east side of our back yard, from the west side that was in ground. The garden is now all in pots. Right now I am harvesting one cherry tomato plant. Our lemon tree is flowering, and producing fruit, the orange tree is not, yet. The grape vine has one small new leaf growing. The herbs are doing well. Pineapple is doing well. We've had trouble with our fig tree last summer, but our kumquat tree, which is taller than the house in the ground is producing. We got a great harvest of olives from our tree which was planted out front when the house was built in 1962. I cured them, and they are in the fridge. We have date palms, and they have never cross pollinated, male /female.
    If you have date palms, I'd love to see a video on them.

    Thank you for all your wonderful tips on gardening, you are amazing. I live in the northeast so I like growing dwarf citrus fruit trees because I have to bring it indoors in the winter. My favorite is lemon trees because I use a lot of lemons, plus looking at all citrus trees makes you feel so happy. Thank you for all your wonderful videos. Happy gardening🍋🍊😃

    hello California Gardener, the dwarf fruit trees are easier to manage if you're living in a residential area. Pest control, regular pruning and fertilizing, dwarf trees are best. I like the Key Limes as well as the mandrine, great video as always! thankyou very much.

    Hello,
    I received a dwarf Meyers tree for mothers day last year and I have watched over it very carefully because we here in Las Vegas do get down to freezing temperatures. We have warmed up lately and it is doing very well and producing many flowers. It's in a pretty big pot so I hope it does well this year. It has grown some but I may nred to trim some of the longer branches in order to stimulate more growth. Thank you for your videos...they are very educational and I have learned a lot from you. Ct.

      Carroll Trent I don't think you need to worry about LV cold for a citrus tree. My sister has one for many years and was perfect until it stop producing. It's now been chopped. On a smaller tree in LV, I did apply lots of wood chips and hope it will produce. I (if Trump admin did allow me to travel) will be visiting later in spring.

    I see your using the self-watering container in the first part of the video minus the reservoir part on bottom. I tried those and they didn't work that great. The water reservoir is too small and you end up filling it up almost daily. This was another great video, thank you sir!

    Hi, I like the way you grow plants and explain the procedure with lot of dedication. Your videos had encouraged me to grow few veggies on my balcony and I am successful. I had seen all your videos from you tube as well as your blog (videos since 2009 odd) they are very educative. Thank for sharing your work and knowledge.

Would you please share your potting soil, fertilization methods, and watering schedule? I will just try copying everything you do. Also, your short videos, with only the essential information, are great because it gives me more time to watch other videos and learn. Thank you!

    Nice tree. It reminds me of Citrus tangerina and Citrus deliciosa shrubs I grow. The fruits are small in size, but with a very deep scent. I can truly tell the difference between what I grow at home and what I buy at the store.

    My 15 yr old 6’ wide x 5’ tall Kishu produces 300+ fruits by about Dec. every year. It is growing in the ground. The issue is the skin is very soft so if you want to give a bunch of fruit away you need to clip each fruit stem with long garden scissors or pruner, just plucking them tears off the top part of the skin which exposes the flesh, not good. I fertilize three times a year and water about once a week, extra watering in a heat wave. I live in Orange County, Calif. Fruit is delicious and adults and kids love them for ease of peeling.

    I got a Satsuma mandarin tree (only one I could find around me) for my backyard in Southern California. It's my first tree that I have ever purchased. Should I plant it in the ground or in the pot for a good yield? I want to keep the size manageable by myself without any special tools. Tag says it grows up to 10 feet.

    LOVE your channel. We did have a dwarf Meyer lemon that died & it must've been to the mite (?) that you mentioned. I need to check for any info you have to combat this as we're now thinking of buying another tree.
    The two fruits I'm also interested in growing, & am hoping that you will produce videos for help, are passion fruit & bananas.
    I too am in so Cal (much hotter area than I believe your location), San Fernando valley area. Hopefully your tips will help re this fact!
    Thank you again!

Do you know of a place that sells these plants ? Or even seeds.

    I learned a lot here. I’ve had a pomelo tree for two years and it’s struggling I think it’s because I only get a few hours of sunlight and because I’ve never reported it when I first got it I didn’t know I supposed to. I put it in a very sunny spot and I’ve been fertilizing it but nothing but white fly battles once in a while

    Hi from North San Diego county! I love all your videos on growing veggies and fruit trees. I was wondering if this Kishu is the type of Mandarin that is sold in the stores as "cuties"? We planted a dwarf Satsuma mandarin in our raised border garden bed last spring but the fruits are larger and not as sweet as I had hoped. Perhaps we will need to try a Kishu to get these sweet, tiny fruits!

    • @NancyEly

  • @arijitghosh6378
    @arijitghosh6378 6 лет назад +3

    First of all, thanks for the making these great videos. I'm curious as to what potting mix you used that the plant flourished like that. I've planted many citrus plants in pots in a mix of 3 parts regular garden soil, 2 parts cocopeat and 2 parts composted manure but they aren't growing well. Can you tell me what I might be doing wrong?

    • @baroofy6179
      @baroofy6179 6 лет назад

      I had made the same mistake. Using "Garden" soil for potted plants is apparently a bad idea since it hold a lot less moisture and often compacts into a harder soil. I switched to "Potting soil" for all my potted plants and I am having much better results.

    My citrusses jus dont want to flower. Some are just to jong, but I have some that should be able to flower. At what conditions do they flower normaly. (Dutch weather is not ideal for citrusses. I heard they flower in spring. Would I place them outside in spring, they would definitely die by frost)

    Sir how do I fix the problem of my orange plant in pot. I got the plant from nursery and transferred to big pot. It’s leaf are falling, the tree is not growing. I live in Indiana state and it’s still cold here. It’s very cloudy outside. I also added the organic fertilizer and some micronutrients and check water level regularly.

    My potted kishu mandarin is 4 years old. It has many fruits on it but they are all very dry. Any advise please?

    i have enjoyed this video. :-) i had to look up citron though as i have never heard of it.
    your fruit trees always make me smile and want to try the dwarf as i feel you said it best. there's ample produce and as i have limited space this would work for me should i ever get to do it.
    if you do grow one in your garden i will be watching in fascination to see what exactly you do with it. :-) as always 👍
