Just wait a couple more years for Poncirus plus to be bred with the cold hardiest kumquats, satsumas, and mandarins, it’s finally a trifoliate without the resin
Many of these crosses are likely to be Z7 hardy and tasty

Looking for more steel 2 3/8" now to finish the fence
Located my steel and cleared what i needed to for fencing. I might add an acre or two of concords there. The first step is to finish the fence. Fencing has been a 2 year project. It was hard to find the materials and dig safe would not mark some of the lines. Nobody really knows where all the lines are. I told the guys working for me to spend extra and take the trees down with shears instead of a dozer to make sure we dont hit any lines.

I can tell you that you’ve got fiber optics under there! 
I know how that goes, and it can be so frustrating. The county did come out and mark where they thought the water line was, but I had specifically asked that the technician give the rough depth below the soil line. After calling the county they said that they are not willing to do that since they don’t want to be held liable if it isn’t as deep at they indicated. I got to “pothole” (dig multiple depth locating holes all along the ~338 foot frontage) and determined that I had no cause for concern with the project at hand.
The “call before you dig” standard operating procedure in this area is generally something along the lines of “if the entity doesn’t mark anything in [X timeframe] then it means that they don’t have anything in that area for you to be concerned.”

We know what is down there which is why i said shear the trees off ground level and dont dig them out. The guys had to find a shear but they did tell me they knew it was the right thing to do after i brought it up. The water company said straight out they have no idea where the water line is. We all know its down there and nobody knows exactly where. I do recognize the fiber but the company that put it there is out of business and bought out. Nobody knows much more than that. My bulldozer guy called them 3 times and they never marked any of it. Sometimes that is the best we can get.
