The precocious PT that I got from Laaz flowered and produced one fruit the first year. This year (2nd year) the flowering is much heaver. Some previous research shows that the transfer of this character is not proven. Laaz has found some wonder PT that actually is precocious.

There is no relation between terminal flower of pomelos and the EBPT. EBPT has a dominant trait.

A new fast flowering hybrid produced in Brazil- H11 Microcitrangemonia {[(‘Rangpur’ lime) x YMCT (‘Yuma’ citrange) - 005] x (Microcitrus papuana) - 001}
Half of its seeds are nucellar and these seedlings are flowering in approximately one year. They report a strong fragrance and sourish pulp taste.
Interestingly, the same group isolated a fast flowering mutant of Tobias sweet orange.

Has anyone done any hybrid with EBPT?

Last year I pollinated FD and 5star flowers with it. No flowering yet

ilya11 What do you think of your experiments with paclobutrazol to make plants bloom? Is it worth it?

It works well for the plants that reached a critical size, but refuse to flower.

ilya11 What do you think of your experiments with paclobutrazol to make plants bloom? Is it worth it? No!!! Experimented already It's an anti gibberellin, will stunt the plant. Juveniles need fast growth so a gene expression that induce flowering can take place. Viroid infection it's the fastest way.

Indeed, I followed more or less the protocol described in this article.

‘West Indian’ lime flowers early anyway. I think a 5 year old seedling single stem mandarin with PZB application will flower as well, but not at 1 year. Getting rid of PZB from the soil it can be a problem as it stays there long time.

I have a Kaffir lime cutting (not from my trees) but from a tree that I found somewhere warm with a lot of fruits compared to normal ones (no details), that I rooted 2 years ago. The cutting has weak roots and gets root rot periodically. I treat the root rot and then instead of pushing new growth the tree blooms continually at every internode. This could be that the tree is stressed and flowers in a last fight or fly effect, or maybe that it's infected with a virus. What it's very weird this tree which is 20 cm high even sets a lot of small fruits after flowering. I wonder if I graft a seedling what effect will have on the seedling. I'll give a try with a graft this week.

I had a Chandler Pumelo, supposedly grafted on sour orange. It suffered more and more from root rod but was blooming abandontly. It finally got only flowers, no leaves and then died. I made a copy on Swingle Citrumelo. This graft grew very well and had never root problems but it took 2 years for it to flower and flowers were few. So stress is a factor. We speak, however, of plants that have already left the juvenile phase behind themselves.
