re: Satsuma graft trimming

Posted by jlsufan on 5/19/25 at 11:01 am
my great uncle had a tree where he grafted both a satsuma and kumquat on same rootstock
missed getting a little more NVDA....did get a little of VTI though at 246
my high school science teacher told us all meteorologists have to do is call their friends a few hours east and ask what the weather is and predict that for the next day

what part of texas?
looks nice...where did you get the sod and how much if you don't mind my asking...I need to do exact same as you did and about same size front yard

was it a dual capacitor? in other words did it have 3 terminals....you may have hooked it up incorrectly with the start and run capacitor terminals switched

lots of stuff will take a few hours of sun....azaleas, camellias, loropetalum, japanese maples are a few that I have in my yard in mostly shade/dappled sun areas

yeah...that's what I figured....mine's 16-18' high and 20' diameter...too big to wrap

Hope it worked out. I buy all my citrus on dwarf rootstock and keep them no taller than 7-8 feet. Cover them with a heavy duty tarp and a heat lamp.


thanks....yep...after the big freeze a couple of years ago, when mine took some damage, I bought a dwarf variety and have it in a big pot I can roll into garage when necessary...been keeping it in the "bullpen" in case I need to replace my big one in the ground, I'll have one already fruiting and a little more cold tolerant due to age

Leave snow on stasuma tree?

Posted by jlsufan on 1/21/25 at 3:02 pm
now that the snow is ending in BR, wondering if I should use a leaf blower to blow all the snow off my satsuma or will leaving it on provide some type of "protection" from the low-teen temps predicted for tonight?
