My Citrumelo around Xmas :

Posted by WSimpson NC <iframe src='https://members3.boardhost.com/HardyPalm/info/user=WSimpson+NC' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on 12/17/2019, 1:30 pm

I usually blow the fruits that fall off the tree into the leaves on the street , but I decided that they look kinda festive around Xmas on top of the lawn .
What do you think ?
Thanks ,
Will

The weather site below sometimes is way off . For instance , it is saying that tonight I'm supposed to get down to 17F . Accuweather , and most other sites are forecasting around 26F . I just want it to be correct whatever is forecast , but that site is way off a lot .

I think you would need a jet engine to blow that fruit anywhere.

Amazing!

I'd have a car accident if I drove by that.

Thanks Dave .
I think it's cool looking . The grass will suffer under that fruit so after Christmas I'll blow them off the lawn .

Re: My Citrumelo around Xmas :

I have a professional Echo 770 backpack blower that can get the job done .
I'm worried about leaving that fruit on the lawn too long and killing the grass underneath though , but I'm pretty sure the grass will be OK till a little after Christmas .

Thanks Jim .
Will

They've come down in price . I paid $600+ for mine . They are really reliable . Starting is easy and great power . They are highly sought after by Crack/Methheads everywhere lol .

Will, is that Pussy Willow blooming in the bottom of pic 1 ?
That Citrumelo is gorgeous and everything looks so good at your place. Steve in NC wanted to ask you about the hardiness for Citrumelo. He recently purchased some and wanted to ask you but he cant log-in on this forum. Could you help him out? Thanks Will.
Merry Christmas.
