I grow over 100 named varieties of citrus on 1 acre north of Houston, Texas (USA). Last month I decided to update my citrus fruit montage (my prior one was from 2013 and unlabeled). Some of my early-ripening varieties were all gone (e.g. Xie Shan, Cara Cara, Miho, Buddha’s Hand, etc.), and some late setting ones (e.g. Thomasville, Persian, etc.) still pretty green. Many normally-reliable trees failed to set any fruit last year (e.g. Ponkan, Valentine, Washington, etc.). Go figure. Ping me with any questions. Attachments:

Looks great, congratulations.
Do you have an image with better resolution?
If the problem is the proboards size limitation, maybe you can use imgbb.com.

Wow that's a beautiful collection. My in laws in west houston had some kind of plague go through their neighborhood that killed a bunch of citrus this past year.
If you don't mind me asking, how did you get the thomasville in Texas? I can't find anybody here selling them.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get the thomasville in Texas? I can't find anybody here selling them. There were some isolated cases of Citrus Canker (greatly feared citrus disease) in southwestern Houston in the past couple years. Perhaps that is the “plague” you are referring to. My Thomasville tree is seed-grown from a fruit I got from a fellow hobbyist about 8 years ago that finally bloomed last year at about 8’ height. Very thorny plant! Thomasville is sometimes used as a rootstock. |

Thomasville is sometimes used as a rootstock. It seemed like it was spread by some kind of bug in the grass. It destroyed all kinds of plants. Hey 8 years isn't too bad on that thomasville. I see you're in the woodlands! I have family there, too. Surprised you can grow all that you are there, figured it would get just a little too cold. I'm trying to get some cold citrus started up in dallas. All I have now are a couple meyer lemons I've drug back and forth for the last 5 years. Great fruit but winter is a pain! |
