- A quick look at my different trifoliate orange trees (Citrus trifoliata aka / Poncirus trifoliata). I also show the differences between the standard trifoliate orange and the Flying Dragon variety.

It’s interesting that yours have stayed in leaf! Mine went fully dormant at the end of autumn. I’ve only got one and it’s definitely big enough to graft on to now. You seem to be collecting quiet a few of them!
Yeah, I was quite surprised they kept their leaves. Although they are in one of the most sheltered corners of my garden that gets quite a lot of sun.
The first time I ordered some, Jurassic had an offer on where they were giving away a free Poncirus so I bought a couple and got one free lol, as well as some other plants. Then the second time I ordered I had a 30% off discount code, so couldn't resist lol 😂😂
They look pretty strong and healthy Peter. I took some trifoliate cuttings from my naval orange last year, not sure if they survived the winter except for 1 tiny cutting I planted in with some other citrus.
Thanks Louise, hopefully your cutting does well this year 🤞
I think these ones are probably seed grown, I got them from Jurassic plants. I’m hoping to eventually get some to fruit to see what they are like. I think are supposed to be very bitter, but can be used in cooking.
That's awsome
Thank you for watching 👍
In Japan, they say it Karatachi, and write 'Flying Dragon' as 飛龍 or 飛竜.
That's really cool. I believe it is grown quite a lot in Japan. Thanks Vicky 😊
They look good, Peter.
I've also got a few that im trying to grow on as rootstock, probably take a while, although one of my fingerlime plants have stems so thin that maybe soon I'll be able to do a 'Whip and Tongue' or a V graft using a scalpel knife .... but ideally I would like to do bud grafts of my citrus plants.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Moebius! Yeah, I've never grafted anything yet, it's something I want to learn though. I think bud grafts are the favoured approach for citrus if my memory serves me correctly. It will definitely be a while until these are big enough to use, I might try a cleft graft first, then a whip and tongue.
They do get pretty colors in the fall if they hold onto their leaves.
Yeah, I can't wait for them to get larger and hold more leaves. Have you got any fruit from any you have grown from seed before?
@PeterJEntwistle yes definitely I've grown a few from seed and fruited them. It can take at least 4 years or so
I left my tiny new one from Jurassic outside as well, I'll be interested to see if it survives 🤞
Hopefully, yours will be ok Brett 🤞 These were left outside unprotected during the cold weather, in December. The newest ones I got were outside during the cold last week, although it wasn't as bad as the December freeze. I think they should be ok, I know Blayne found a load of them growing wild near him and they do get freezes below what we experienced. Last year in spring I saw some good-sized specamins growing at Chester zoo too. There was also a large loquat tree with flowers on it there, although I couldn't tell if any fruit had set on it.
Great video and tree! I'm a new subscriber! 😄

Thanks for watching! Yeah, they are very cold-hardy! Fortunately, it never gets that cold here.
