follow up:

I have about 3 clemenule fruits that I think it will grow to maturity the way they look.
Somehow there is no telling that the clemenules are flowering constantly. Not many but 3 or 4 flowers at a time so you can see the different sizes of fruit on the tree.

Thanks Ursula for your compliment. Have you seen my Fuji apple tree? I am so proud of it year after year.

bencelest · 10-29-2008, 01:29 PM

Just harvest some of my Fuji apples

On the right is a granny apple graft. Notice the white grafting tape? It fruited the first year with large grannys but I plucked them all out thinking that it may be too much for the branch to take. That's what happened to my Cherry. I grafted another a Prince Ranier unto a branch of my Bing and flowered profusely and harvested the fruit when ripped but died thereafter. It never did gave out any leaves but only flowers.

Here are some f the grafts that I made to my matured Eureka lemon. Those were only experiments but I found out that this lemon can take many varieties of oranges, pomellos, tangerines and other lemons. here are some samples:

Fokomoko orange grafted to Eureka lemon

Here's one more pic but an unknown variety. I just got a small branch from my sister in laws house but they don't know what kind of lemon it is.

Benny, My best friend in Jersey just came back from the Philippines within the last few days. Such a small world, you guys may have been on the same flight at some point.
Everything looks great over there! I have been inspired to do some grafting too. I have a Moro orange and a lot of Citrange It's just a matter of the doing. My Moro is putting on some flower buds though and I really want to try the fruit so I may wait a while.
