0:14 Yuzu, sour, uniquely fragrant citrus. Used in Japan to make ponzu sauce and yuzu koshu condiment. Also popular in Korea as a marmalade to be mixed with hot water. 1:14 Vaniglia Sanguigno / Vanilla blood orange, unique acid-less orange with thicken juice. Best when mixed with orange or blood orange juice. 1:40 Sanguinello a Pignu blood orange. Not a productive variety. Our graft continues to produce what looks to be fasciation. 2:04 Pink Lemonade lemon, a mutation of Eureka lemon. 2:21 Cam Sanh / King Tangor / King Mandarin, grafted onto a lemon. Heavy fruit set this year. I did not keep an eye on the fruit formation. It was only recently that I notice the heavy bearing resulting in a couple of snapped branches. (Seedlings arrived to USA 1880.) 3:40 Genoa lemon. I believe this is the variety grown and used in some Peruvian cuisine. 4:18 Oro Blanco grapefruit pomelo hybrid. Peels easily; juicy with pomelo flavor. Fruit half the size this year. 4:49 Taracco blood orange. 5:12 Sanguinelli blood orange. 5:26 Sudachi mandarin, sour. I always mispronounce it as "Saduchi." 5:53 Makrut lime. 6:08 Robertson navel orange. 7:12 Valencia orange, summer maturing. A juicing or slicing orange. 7:24 Owari Satsuma mandarin. 8:04 Eureka lemon with Boukhobza blood orange graft. 8:36 Australian finger lime. 8:54 Variegated calamansi. 9:17 Moro blood orange, virtually no oranges this year. Even on the light year we would get more than 10. 9:28 Mato Buntan pomelo, grafted a few years ago onto our own seed grown rootstock. 10:23 Murcott mandarin/tangerine, does not alternate bear. 11:17 Late Late navel orange, I did not stop to talk about it. It is located just to the left of the banana plant. 13:13 Shasta Gold mandarin, newer and truly seedless variety. 13:49 Algerian clementine. Like Murcott excellent for juicing or fresh eating.
Thanks. Kind of, sort of, and no, lol. For the most part they are hands off and I take the suckers off if they are very noticeable. The ones in the pots get regular fertilizer and watering-- so they get a little more attention. All the while, the trees that are planted where it is hard for me to get to dont get as much attention =P
San Diego Seed Company. Had a fruit tree specialist on and he said to feed your trees every month. For example, if you were supposed to feed 1 cup every four months, you would feed 1/4 of a cup every month .So the trees would bear the same amount every year and not do the High yield. Every other year.
i have the nules variety of clementine. still not sweet but i think the quality should improve by january..Shasta Gold is one of the finest citrus you can grow along with Tahoe and Yosemite Gold. i actually picked a Yosemite yesterday(still partially green) and it was really good. keep in mind it still is 2 months away from reaching peak sweetness. but i am such a fan of the Gold series. they all produce incredible fruits. During the spring i should have a good amount of citrus and youre welcome to come and sample some
I like how there are so many varieties of Mandarins, clementines, and tangerines. Due to limited space I try not to learn about them too much because then I'd want yet another one, haha. Looking up Nules, peaked my interest, ha. Thanks for the invite. It'll definitely be a fruitful visit, lol.
The projects keep me busy, yup, haha. Right now it is mostly a hobby. It's kind of like crafting; if ever the opportunity presents itself I would like to bring my crafts to a craft sale. So the nice thing about planting your own fruit trees is that you can plant varieties that are hard to find at a market or even farmers market. If there are excess and demand, I can potentially make some money to drive the hobby.

Beautiful plants and such abundant fruits! Do you treat all citrus plants the same?
Thanks. Kind of, sort of, and no, lol. For the most part they are hands off and I take the suckers off if they are very noticeable.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing, I'll have to test that out.

You sure have a lot of work cut out for you. Are you making a living on this or just a hobby?
The projects keep me busy, yup, haha. Right now it is mostly a hobby. It's kind of like crafting; if ever the opportunity presents itself I would like to bring my crafts to a craft sale.
