Growing Oranges In The Uk

[@denster77]

Shall you set up a Cara Cara Orange Tree Fund we can donate to?

Klaire, I don't know exactly when I subscribed to your channel - it's been a few years. I always love watching your content and I loved your make-up videos and DIYs. I'd be more than happy to donate 100€ for your orange tree and I'm pretty sure some other subscribers would also love to donate.

Wishing you the best of luck with the grafting process!

I misread that as “Growing organs in the UK” and I thought ‘wow…Klaire’s skill set is really expanding all the time” 😅🤔

If I can figure out how to grow teeth, I'll make a fortune!

Have you been to Kew Gardens? They have an Orangery. Ok, true, it's Kew Gardens, but it's not completely impossible! Good luck with the graft. I live in the Morbihan, France, and you've given me a great idea to plant a lemon tree against a sunny southern brick wall and graft a couple Kuzu branches! Ta for that!

I'm going soon! :D

It takes a lot longer than just six months. More off six years before you get fruit

[@KlairedeLysOfficial]

Not if it's grafted because the branch is the same age as the original tree.

I'm just realizing a big through line in Queen Charlotte is her greenhouse of orange trees, which I suppose wouldn't have been possible at the time. Oh well - at least the show only has the one historical inaccuracy ;)

How you getting on with this Klaire? Any update?

[@matildeandersen9201]

Wait how are you gonna mutate a tree? I am learning so much about gardening from your channel 🥰

[@KlairedeLysOfficial]

So you take a branch from the original tree (this tree mutated to have extra cold resistance) and you graft (attach) it to a tree in the same citrus family so it can grow.

@@KlairedeLysOfficial that sounds genius!
