Etrog Tips

[@edi7665g4]

Thank you for your advice, there is little information on the subject.

Found it! 😊 Thanks again for a helpful video.

Great advice, thank you! I was taught a good treatment for root rot recently, it works well especially on small, easy to handle plants. Just unpot, remove the old media, cut away any decaying roots, and then spray the roots thoroughly with hydrogen peroxide 3%. I usually let the plant sit for 10 min, and then repot in a VERY fast draining media; usually 2-1 pumice stone (or perlite if no pumice) and the smaller chip orchiata bark. It isn't permanent, but this mix will allow for tons of airflow, pumice holds 33% water, and bacteria/fungi are not able to grow. Hydrogen peroxide is great because it turns to water once it's done, but you will prob have to treat a couple times. For bad cases I will use the fungicide Daconil. In an emergency it can be sprayed around the base of the tree and allowed to sink down along the roots. Hopefully someone find this helpful. Happy gardening, Charles

We loved this video! We want to try growing Etrogs on our own, but still have some questions. Is there any way we can contact you directly? Thanks

I have one of these trees in my house! It has been here 3 years now! Doing really great in Massachusetts! I would love to ask you some questions. I believe mine was grown from seed! When will it fruit? We are having some juvenile looking leaves, and sterile flowers! Otherwise it's doing awesome! Also I use 511 soil. Pine bark, perlite and coco coir--works awesome!

i have read that they take 7 to 10 years to fruit first time, i dont remember where i read it

[@tomissmitten]

Have you had any etrog trees that you have grown from seed actually fruit (and hold their fruit)? I'd be interested to know a bit more.

How did you get access to so many plants of different known lineages? (To avoid a history of grafted ancestors.)

I have five etrog plants that have been great for a year and now are yellowing with the leaves curling in, and they seem like they’re dying quickly. Is there a way I can contact you for advice?

[@marceysiegel4246]

What is the link to your fertilizer, please?

[@uriel7203]

I have 2 plants that are kind of yellow but are developing new leaves, do you think they will be fine?

[@simchaweinberger2138]

Hi. I just moved my seeds that were germinating into substrate and I wanted to know how often do I have to water them. Thanks in advance!

[@haimelfersi8946]

Did you try to grow them from cuttings instead of seeds?
