We are happy to hear you found it helpful, thank you for leaving a comment!

We wanted to keep this one short, you should click the card in the top right of the last 5 seconds and watch our full nursery tour!

Thank you for that and for chiming in!

Thank you, we hope it helped!

We do not sell seeds and are unsure where to recommend you try to find them from. Im sorry.

@@madisoncitrusnursery Thank you, I've been trying to buy some Carrizo seeds and have searched many places with no luck.

It depends on where you live and if you grow in ground or in containers. If you are growing in containers and protect your trees in winter you can prune almost year round for shape but keep in mind it may reduce your fruit production for that season. In ground we recommend waiting until spring to prune just so new tender growth isnt exposed to colder freezing weather.

Thank you! We appreciate the greetings, your message, and you watching the video from so far away!

Thank you Peter, we appreciate the positive feedback and are happy you are willing to give this method a shot. We hope it is successful for you as well.

The goal is consistency, keeping the soil moisture consistent without the drastic fluctuations so there really wouldnt be a "too much" water if you are basing if off of keeping the mix consistently moist. With that said the blandness or insipidness looks to possibly be more from temperature. I found this pdf that may help explain some of it better than I can crec.ifas.ufl.edu/media/crecifasufledu/extension/extension-publications/2011/2011_Dec_factors_citrus.pdf

When does your ripen? And what area are you located. I'm thinking of getting this one so would like to know for a point of reference

We are located in Southern GA. Our experience will be greenhouse grown so the timing is different. These are however earlier ripening satsumas and in California they are a mid to late September ripening Satsuma for harvest.

Give it some time bro. My Miho Satsuma was bland af last year but it was the first year. This year they are much better. I had one early last week and it was great. I'm going wait till december to pick the rest.

@@madisoncitrusnursery Thanks they are on drip irrigation. It's a 2 year old tree from you set 3 fruit but maybe needs another year or two to get some flavor. I thought the one I got off it last year or when I put it out in the spring that were better but maybe they ripened inside.

We let our greenhouses get as low as 40 degrees Fahrenheit during the winter.

@@madisoncitrusnursery thanks for the info!

Thank you for the comment. We hope its helpful to those that are starting to grow citrus. We appreciate you.

Thank you for watching and commenting. We are hoping to get more short form "How To" videos out in the next month or two.

Our success rates are so much higher the way we do it. We have another video showing a few different grafting methods we have used in the past and that others use and talk about some of the differences. But the reason we do it the way we do is we have much higher success rates this way.

Keep in mind that it may take seed grown lemons 10+ years to produce fruit. Rooting cuttings and grafting shortcut the process allowing you to get fruit sooner but it also doesnt allow the trees to grow a large root system and supporting branches before they do. There are tradeoffs to everything. Give it a chance to get old enough to flower and fruit before saying it wont. But as for using it as rootstock, you can if youd like to and you can graft to the main stem or to a limb. There should be youtube videos that show you how.

A great example of making lemon out of lemonade!

Unfortunately no, we do not ship outside of the United States.

Thank you for the kind words and the opportunity to get some of our citrus shipped to you. We appreciate it and are excited you liked our tour!

We are happy you found it helpful. Thank you!

We use Amcor Laboratory Parafilm but we buy in larger quantities, im not sure if its feasible to buy it if you arent but here is the parafilm www.amcor.com/product-listing/parafilm-m-all-purpose-lab-film-fpf003

Thank you for that. We need to do another one of these sometime where we are both on camera, this one was a good time! We appreciate you.

Thank you, we appreciate you following along it!

We hand water the tables, dragging hoses to water the pots and then any additional water captured by the plastic on the tables is then absorbed into the pots as well.

You're welcome Drew, thank you for leaving a comment and for watching!

Thank you for commenting, we are excited to see how well both of those new offerings do with our customers.

We think it can go both ways. If you catch them soon enough snip them off, if it would be beneficial for the shape of your tree them let them grow and become another straight trunk and they will fill out over the next couple years and then bloom / fruit. Its one of those things that can go either way, it just depends on what makes the most sense for your specific tree and its shape.

Thank you for the compliments. We try hard to put out videos that people will find helpful.

Budwood is currently on sale for $15 per variety and you get at leas 15 buds plus grafting take, parafilm, and some tags. You can see all the budwood we have available here madisoncitrusnursery.com/search?q=budwood

Thank you! We are happy you found it helpful.

You are welcome! We may or may not have filmed an announcement video that we are going to be posting in the next week or so around the Variegated Valencia (MCN1) :) Soon!

We graft between 4-6" because that is a comfortable height for us, its where the rootstock is able to be bent over without breaking and there is research showing that the rootstock needs to have some available stem / bark to be able to tell when to go semi dormant due to temperature change. We have seen others who grafted 12-18" high and we dont see any real benefit to that other than maybe having a larger, sellable tree, faster but that may be a question for the nurseries that do it that way.

Thank you sir! We hope it helps some people who have been asking for more examples of other grafting / budding options.

Thank you, we hope it helps!

You're welcome!

We do not sell seed. We do sell the rootstock that you see in the video, on the website. In the past we had sold some smaller seedlings in a 5 pack but im not sure if we will be doing that again. We have other rootstock available on the website as well.

In all honesty we graft just about year round in the greenhouse and it does get down to about 45 in the winter. One thing with Flying Dragon is that it does tend to go semi dormant earlier in the winter and starts actively growing later in the spring hence its dwarfing characteristics so that may have been part of the issue. I think you would have better success grafting to semi-dwarf or standard rootstock and waiting until its actively growing / pushing before grafting.

What graft material, nutrients are you using and do you have air movement?

@Robert-cd2ht yuzu bud, flying dragon rootstock. Yes, air movement used clonex nutrients.

@@justinh9347 Ok I will recommend increasing the sap Brix a few weeks before grafting. You can foliar feed with quality kelp extract this should help greatly.

@Robert-cd2ht I've got growmore seaweed extract and bloom city clean kelp. I think I'll research root stocks a bit more. I think some moisture might have gotten on them, I had them by the humidifier while I was doing everything.

Hello Slava, I am one of the 2 people that was in the email chain when you had emailed us. The budwood we sell is cut fresh the morning they are shipped and they are cut by Hershell the one doing the grafting and you can see the size of the budwood he had. That is the size of the budwood we use when grafting and he will not send any budwood that he wouldnt use himself. As we expressed in the email, we are sorry you did not have success with the budwood however to have a 100% failure rate you had something else going on that caused the failures. As for you being happy with the trees you had purchased, that is great to hear and we appreciate that. As for losing you as a customer, we obviously hate to have that happen and im sorry to hear it. Our budwood is sold as budwood and the success rate is up to the grafter and the technique used. We just cant guarantee success rates.

@@madisoncitrusnursery I have reconsidered and decided that I will try grafting your budwood next spring using exactly the techniques you describe in this video.

We appreciate that and definitely recommend the side veneer graft as that is the ONLY way we graft in the greenhouse. Of the varieties you ordered bud wood of, I will say Meiwa is tough to graft for us, our success rate is closer to 50-60% take on those the others are 90-95%. Send us an email prior to ordering your budwood in the Spring. All the best and happy growing.

Thank you! This is all US-942 Rootstock that I believe was planted as seed in February.

The rootstock? They are all grown in 1 gallon pots really tight together so they do not have a lot of opportunity to branch. We also never prune them so they just grow straight up.

I assume it would be possible but I cant imagine any benefit as if it did work youd have 2 branches growing out run under each other. It would make more senses to do a second one elsewhere to add a second variety that would be more balanced of a placement.

Thank you thank you!

Thank you!

Unfortunately that is a hard one for us to answer because Texas has special rules where you cant import citrus from outside of the state which means you have to find varieties that are already in the state. We dont keep up with the varieties you have available since we arent in Texas so we cant help on this one. Im sorry.

We wish we could sell to Texas but understand why some citrus growing states dont allow the importation of citrus into their states. I wish things were different, thank you for stopping by and leaving us some feedback.

We do not airlayer in the greenhouse. There would be better resources in some of the citrus groups on facebook or forums that could give you much better information on how to do that.

Glad it was helpful!
