Unique Cold Hardy Citrus and Dead ones come back after 1 1/2 years

[@doggiefamily908]

Beautiful turmeric! Your citrus trees look great! Interesting stuff about the citranges coming back from dead after so long. I have put a yuzu and Keraji in the ground this past spring. Will have to protect them with some passive heat this first winter. 8A GA.

I would think you should be able to do alot better then me in zone 8A or did they just move you there like me? I'm going to try yuzu too, but will have to put it in the hoop house.

Super cool seeing the Morton rise from the dead! I have a trifoliate Thomasville seedling too that I'm thinking of grafting onto larger rootstock.

[@CitrusPalmsWithTom]

Trifoliate Thomasville? Do you mean that it is a seedling Thomasville with trifoliate leaves? That is very common with seedling Thomasville citrangequat. As they mature, the leaves usually become unifoliate.

I don't know as it ages if it will change since you can see alot of this crosses change over time.

[@sweethomealabamahomestead4504]

These are seedlings I sprouted from seeds. The one looks different then the rest, but as it grows could change. I know the crosses can change as they get older.

How do you fertlise your plants? I come back here from time to time and plants look allways great:)

chicken manure but only in the spring.

Lots of hybrids seem to be root hardy in zone 7. Yuzu comes back from the roots here when severely damaged. I've got Morton on trifoliate as well as taitri, but so far no dieback. I don't have one in the ground on its own roots, though I should probably do that before I lose the grafts. The coldest has only been 15f in zone 7. When the real zone 7 winter hits I figure it will be damaged

[@sweethomealabamahomestead4504]

Yes only 15F is warm for zone 7. Most years here I'll get down in to the single digits and the last 2 years down to 0f. That is what killed most of my trees. I might have to try a Yuzu out.

@@sweethomealabamahomestead4504 if you get a yuzu make sure its mature and keep it small so you can cover it. but it will die to the ground below 10f in my experience. if you can heat it even better. i like the fruit for cooking, the yuzu flavor and scent is really unique

[@ross2398]

Do you have tai-tri yet?

[@sweethomealabamahomestead4504]

Yes got one a few months ago. I hear it is one of the more cold hardy hybrids.
