Do you get citrus leaf miner in your area? If yes, how do you control them when you have so many citrus plants?

[@Agung_Setiawan]

very nice sharing about lime farming

[@richgarden]

Excellent information, thank you

[@GardeningAustralia]

Glad it was helpful!

[@martymcwhirter9864]

Great I just got my first kara kara orange tree which is in full bloom and was wondering if I should remove the flowers to allow it to establish so that's real handy to know.the flowers are some of the nicest I have smelt,yum

[@kezzaobee1462]

I have my first myer lemon in this year, its full of buds/fruit. Now I guess I will have to take them off to help tree grow bigger, maybe leave just one yeah. A bigger yield will be better than a quicker fruiting.

[@ksenijavojisavljevic2034]

How neatly cared property

[@farman892]

Can you please tell use the Growing material you people uses for rootstock on the ground and in the pots? How you people keep the tree lines so clean?

[@Tinachimneycreekfarm]

Great 👍 I wonder why my mandarin tree hasn't had fruit.its 10 yrs old

[@samperras]

Great show

[@ThuHuynh-vo3cc]

Hi John! Love watching your video. I’ve got three kumquat trees growing in the containers and their leaves are yellow and small. Please give me some advice 😊 I need to prune those trees badly because the branches are all over the place and taking all the nutrients. Would you please tell me when is the best time to prune and what are the best fertiliser for kumquat tree? When is best time to give fertiliser. Oh I forgot to tell you that I live in Melbourne. Thank you very much Sir

[@lesliedevlin8501]

Great show people 😊😊😊💯💯💯💪💪💪Les from Perth

No such thing as Tahitian lemon. Its actually Persian lemon, It was evolved in Southern Iran hundreds of years ago. Americans renamed it. That guy is a great man.

[@janatlmb2770]

such a great character :)

[@Bernie5172]

has he got Honey Murcott mandarin ? can I buy 1 please

[@Shane_O.5158]

most hardwares do, try a kumquat instead, you will like it more.

[@mehadihasansumon9731]

Sir can u provide five tree of mandarin orange in Bangladesh??

[@AWANtv077]

what is the distance of the lemon plant as in this video?

[@nemanjamilicevic7568]

It depends on the rootstock. If the lemon is grafted on a flying dragon then you can plant them 1m apart. Grafting on a regular poncirus trifoliata, 1.5m. If you use a Carizzo c35 citrange, then you need more space. Apparently this guy wants his plants small, so he only uses trifoliates and dragons.

[@richgarden]

@@nemanjamilicevic7568 thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@amoldokhe4842]

Kindly gives name of rootstock,( which tree rootstock is used)

[@XaViEr3520]

It’s mentioned if you watched the whole video, but for the sake of saving you time it’s trifoliate orange and trifoliate orange “flying dragon” for pot/dwarfing purposes

[@jessiesambo1886]

How I wish you in my country

[@erlindachogsayan6386]

Hello sir, what a wonderful nursery, do u sell trifoliata seed for me pls

[@charliemcdermott8823]

Try auscitrus if you're in australia

[@ThePrimeMinisterOfTheBlock]

Why do they do that business with the rootstock and the buds. Why not just grow your citrus from seed?

[@teravolt1195]

The selected rootstock makes a more versatile and resilient tree. Plus by grafting a mature full size tree bud onto a dwarf rootstock, the overall growth of the tree from that bud is limited to the size of the tree rootstock it was grafted to. This is ideal for tight spaces, pots and those who don't want the full size tree. Of course not all grafts are dwarf to limit their size, they'll graft for a full size rootstock and therefore tree anyway because of that added resilience and versatility.

[@ErraticPerfectionist]

Not to mention, grafted trees means shorter time until fruiting than if growing from seed.

[@teravolt1195]

@@ErraticPerfectionist I didn't realise that but makes sense; the source tree grafted on is going to be older/more mature than when you grow fully from seed. So you're already ahead from a tree the same size started from seed (mature tree on rootstock vs young tree from seed still maturing as it grows)

[@markc6714]

Yet not a single comment on diseases and pests. What a pointless videp

[@LantanaLiz]

Spray with copper for fungus (or ecofungicide), neem and eco oil for pests, same as every other fruit tree, citrus or not.
