Excellent video brother!! Looks like everything did good this past winter ❄️ I think keeping the Thomasville shorter to for covering is a great idea!! They like being bushy and full of fruit 🍊 all your rare trifoliate seeds shipping your way Monday 💪🍊 🌱🌱🌱🌱 thanks for sharing
Overall everything looks good…hopefully the citrumelo make full recovery. I saw 13F in my area and decided to protect my young citrus…crossing my fingers for an easy rest of winter!
Love that you're pushing the boundaries in a colder zone, its people like you who will lead the way for others to grow citrus in colder regions of the US! I hope your citrumelo gets an opportunity to bloom again in the future.
Thank you for watching! Just watched your video of the tree you have going and that is great, do you plan on planting it out? Also I just sent you a email about when you will have your seedlings available?
@@sweethomealabamahomestead4504 Thank you! The multi-grafted citrumelo is staying in a pot on the balcony more novelty and mother tree. I'll get to your email now! I may begin listing them very soon, I checked the weather forecast and it's looking warmer in the coming weeks.
I have 3 kumquats in containers. I'm about 15 miles north of the South Carolina border in North Carolina, and 25 miles west of Charlotte. There was one 10F degree night in January when I mitigated the overnight risks, and stuffed the trees in my shed. But other than that one event, typical teen-ish lows. I left them uncovered and they're coming through.
I believe it is a prague. Got it from Stan year before last. I did not know there where any other satsuma crosses, do you know of others that are cold hardy?
That is not satsuma cross. Thats a chimera and the yellow thing in between the leaves are the trifoliata decisious tissues while the ever green on the outside are the satsuma ones. Very interesting plant i have that one aswell , they say it is very cold hardy
@@ross2398 I have also not like the taste on the 2 citranges I had. I'm going to try and get some more citrumelo and Citrandarin since they seem to be more cold hardy and taste better.

Sounds like to have some nice ones. You should be able to grow some nice citrus there.
What part of Alabama are you in?
North AL zone 7.
What type of satsuma cross do u have?

deciduous*
Thanks for the info. I think it is a citrondarin (MandarinX trifoliata )
How cold did you get?
Got down to 0F this last winter.
It’s not unusual for citrumelo (and other trifoliate hybrids) to lose their leaves after cold events. They are very tough.
Yes I know, but they don't like it. I lost all my citrange last year.
That’s not so bad though, citranges are usually not the best! Have you tried a Morton?

@@sweethomealabamahomestead4504 I’ve got some seeds leftover from some!
