Two out of four Prague grafts have started pushing, one still looks green but no growth, one has shriveled. Hereās the one furthest along:

For all Iāve read about the Prague sitsuma, it really doesnāt seem worth growing. Always scraggy looking and a shy bearer. I donāt need a 20 foot tree for 5-10 oranges, you can get that on a potted plant which takes up 1/4 of the footprint. But I do get the allure of plants which require no protection, I love that. Just it needs to be productive to be worthwhile to me.

I donāt really plan to dedicate much container/greenhouse space to citrus, so Iām excited at the idea of having an outdoor sweet citrus, even if not particularly productive. Even just a few fruit per year would make me happy.

My Meiwa kumquats are gloriously flowering for the first time. I grow them in containers. Maybe Iāll harvest a fruit for the first time. Hope springs eternal among Northern citrus growers and Mariners fans.

I bought a Meiwa and Nordman seedless last May from OGW. The Meiwa flowered and produce about a handful of fruits its first year, but nothing from the Nordman. This year, the Nordman has just set a lot of flowering buds and Iām hoping to taste that too. I really like the taste of the Meiwa but if the Nordman taste as good without the seeds, that would be perfect.

I believe Richard (the one from California) grows/grew seedless Nordman?

Does anyone here know if Sudachi is prone to alternate year bearing? I got a good fruit set on itās first year, then last year I only got a couple and I assumed it was because I let it fruit on itās first year and it needed to focus on getting settled, and now on itās third year it is completely loaded again. I think some other citrus types drop the fruit it canāt support, so Iām wondering if I should be thinning the sudachi this year in case it isnāt one of those types and is instead prone to alternate year bearing if I donāt thin it.

Yuzu is reportedly prone to alternate bearing. I havenāt seen any reports about Sudachi behaving the same, but itās possible.

My meiwa is producing fruit this year. Iām excited! My Morton citrangequat tried to make a lot of fruit in its first year. I removed them, as I figured it wasnāt a good idea. I hope to have fruit later when the plant will be able to support it.

You can come to my place in Salem and do an air layer on my Prague if you want. Iāve been told thatās the best way to propagate it.

Thatās consistent with my experience. Sudachi produce every year, the yuzu skipped this year.

My sudachi self thins. And this year in the extreme heat it dropped about 2/3 of the fruit. Looks like Iām only getting about 30 fruit per tree this fall.

That would be great. Let me know when and where.

Is anyone here growing a āHarveyā lemon?? I had never heard of it before and saw it at my local Home Depot (ā¦ and I bought it 
)ā¦ There are only a couple mentions of it in this group, and not a ton of reliable info online, but the claims are that it is hardier than Meyer (Fast-growing-trees claims it can handle down to 15F!)ā¦ Anyone have experience or knowledge of this variety?

If the rootstock canāt handle below freezing it doesnāt matter what the top can.

I have 1 but it hadnāt gone a winter yet. From other reviews, its on Meyer lemon level hardiness. Maybe 20 degrees but more like 25 Fā¦
