Thank you Cameron! We’re still dealing with storing & sharing lemons- hoping to be done with the major harvest of Meyers in this upcoming week! Charles 😅🍋
Great video.. guess I'll have to go with the Meyer..only because it would be easier for me to grow here. Thank you stay well. Those girls have grown so much!
Thank you Tammy! It’s been a while since I got my girls to participate- I love memorializing their participation in our garden! And, thanks for being a part of our growing family over the years! 🙏 Have a GREAT weekend! Charles 🍋👍
thanks for your video i live in the Willamette valley in Oregon and have greenhouse number 2 being built as i have over 80 citrus trees (love to collect those new varieties) i'am in zone 8b and have some citrus growing outdoors.
Hello Dianna 👋 I was hoping to see your citrus collection on your TH-cam channel- you should seriously consider sharing your projects & sharing what is possible! I got a message this AM from a friend in Texas zone 8b and I assured him that you can plant in-ground with proper care the 1st couple years (and winter night temps that don’t dip too low below freezing). Glad to hear that you’re having so much citrus growing successes way up there in Oregon! Way to go!!! Happy Holidays, Charles ☃️🎄
i have had garden tours at my place (2 acres) a natural creek threw the property. i have a mini farm with goats, peacocks, guinea fowl, geese, ducks and chickens. i landscape with fruit trees, bushes and plants that are edible. not sure how to do videos and very busy (that's the way i like it) i'am not a tech person.
I had a ponderosa tree, but sadly it died. I’m going to look for another one next year. I currently have two meyer and one variegated eureka lemon tree. My meyer’s are producing fruit for the first time, and I’m looking forward to tasting it. 😋
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video! A great source for citrus (lemon) trees is Four Winds Growers: www.fourwindsgrowers.com/ Feel free to check out their website for more details on how to order. Let me know if you need any help!? 🍋🍊
Good info! That will probably be enough to motivate me to take another stab at some lemon trees! Just found you on TH-cam, I like your content! Seriously jealous of that rare fruit guy in Cali, forest of pomegranates! Coincidentally I'm already using your white wash, so that segways well into your videos! Thanks again! Good to see the kids helping out.
I decided to go with two ponderosa and two meyer trees. They are just beginning to produce (but are way too small to allow to grow all the fruit they are currently growing).
Hi, how do you get rid of caterpillars that are eating and residing on healthy trees leaving the branches with black/ ashy residues? I’m struggling to get rid of these pests
Hi Charles. I live near Greenville, NC and have followed you for 3 years now. Because of my climate, I raise the Lemons in 25 gal containers. When the temperature falls to around 45 degrees in the fall, I have taken them into the garage. I have used both your wash and fertilizer products, leaf spray, trunk wash and fertilizer. I have had poor fortune in getting any fruit production at all. I have had nice stem growth and greenery. Each year they have started out with nice blooms and even a couple of tiny lemons attempting to grow, but the late April frosts destroyed any possibility of fruit production. This year I am going to attempt to leave them inside the garage until June before bringing them outside. Both my Meyer lemon and Myer lime trees died this year despite the care. My Eureka has survived but has yet to produce any fruit. I do also have a blood orange and mandarin orange tree that have come through fine and have had a little production, but not more than 10 pieces of fruit and this year only one. Since this is the third year I saw where you mentioned in one of your videos about pruning the root ball. I am a little leery of attempting this as I have lost so much investment in buying all of these and buying the products to help prevent them from getting disease or damage. Is there any concern about having the root ball exposed? Do I shake out all the dirt and soak it in a bath for a day or two before attempting to prune the root system back? Do i need to be concerned when I replenish the new soil that I get the root ball filled in as much as possible with the new soil?
No doubt ! Massive Giagantic Lemon* is The Tartiest one and Myer Ultra Dwarf is more sweeter Acidity of Huge Variety can easily be neutralised by mixing with Carbs No Matter whether Sweeter or Tart Neutralisation process makes things settle down
Is it true that on the first year of my baby Meyer lemon trees when they bloom flowers and then they all fall and there’s tiny little green lemons formed on the tree I have to cut them off so all the energy can go to the trunk or should I leave them on there thank you and happy holidays 🙏🏼
You're not required to do that, but your patience will likely be rewarded greatly in the following years as your tree will have a stronger trunk and limbs and be more productive. That said, I don't think it would hurt anything to let the fruit grow out if you really want to do that. More than likely, many of the fruits will fall off the weaker limbs as the fruits grow faster than the limbs grow stronger.
Next episode...what makes the best lemoncelo 🤣. My neighbor just gave me a ton of Meyer lemons. The skin is definitely different like you said. Amazing flavor
HI, I have alot of ants in my soil of my fruit trees. I have a Meyer Lemon, a Cherry , and Apricot tree. Ants are in them and I mean a lot of ants. They look like harvester ants, they are carrying white stuff or just ants I don't know what they are. HOW DO I get rid of them if they are harming my trees? I put some DE on the top of the soil but I don't know if it worked.
They are probably harvesting the honeydew from aphids. DE on top of the soil in a ring around the tree should eventually stop them, but it may take a few days or longer. Inspect the tree for aphids and if you find any you can spray them off. But if the aphids don't seem to be doing much damage I wouldn't worry about them, and the ants themselves aren't doing any damage to your trees. If you allow enough time you may be able to build up a healthy population of predators that are drawn to eating the aphids. It's a good idea to plant native flowering plants nearby as well to attract beneficial insects.
@@baddriversofcolga Hi, the Apricot tree has no leaves just the lemon and cherry so I will check behind the leaves for aphids. It is cold here so I thought I didn't have to worry about ants. Thank you.
@@chuckschillingvideos I have a special scholarship for the advancement of Citrus that can only go to a black woman applicant. I need to know she is part black before I can offer the scholarship.
Man, Charles. Your citrus is OFF THE HOOK! 😮 Fantastic video, and great to see the girls.

Another smashing video! Great to see the girls helping out again. I know they help behind the scenes
Thank you Matt! I love getting them in front of the camera every now & then! Glad you enjoyed this lesson!
Charles 🍋🙌
Very informative. Thank you. My mouth watered the whole time you were tasting the lemons 😋
Great video. Your daughters are adorable.
Great taste test. Thank you!

Thanks for the review! I want a ponderosa lemon tree 🍋 🌳 I use lemon mainly for cooking which do you recommend? 🍋
I like meyer too that's the one I planted. so sweet!
Hey buddy it’s been a while. Happy Christmas to you and family. Don’t forget to sit. Up till midnight for the new year. 🤟🤪🤟

You can eat the outer shell of the Pandora lemon, it taste sweet.

Check out "The Millennial Gardener" channel. He lives near to you and had recent videos on how to grow citrus there.
No doubt !
Massive Giagantic Lemon* is The Tartiest one and
Myer Ultra Dwarf is more sweeter
Acidity of Huge Variety can easily be neutralised by mixing with Carbs
No Matter whether Sweeter or Tart
Neutralisation process makes things settle down
I have Meyer lemons. Try adding a little zest to your lemonade to add more intense lemon flavor
Hello Katie 👋 Meyer Lemons are a one- of-a-kind MUST HAVE variety! Glad you’re enjoying them too!!! Happy Holidays!
Charles ☃️🎄
I already know, I like Meyer lemons the best. Hello you you and you're family, Merry Christmas to you all.🎄

I have a lemon tree grown from seed for 6 years. The tree is growing well, why is there still no fruit.
Because its not mature yet. It has to get grafted from a mature tree or a cutting
Yum!
Is Isabell white or black?
What do you care?
