This Citrumelo will look festive till into January . It's really nice around Xmas .
It's hard to see how many fruit are on it from the sunny picture but with the less quality morning picture it's easy to see how loaded it is .

Sunny picture . Zoom into the base of the tree and you can see a lot of seedlings growing underneath it :

Really nice. If it’s like my neighborhood, the lawn care workers that do the neighbors’ mowing will bring will steal as much low hanging fruit as they can. I walked around the house and unexpectedly caught one once with a sack full.

I get more comments about the trifoliate orange that is always loaded with dark orange fruit around Christmas than I do any of the true citrus. Do you have any problems with spider mites? The foliage of the trifoliates are always marred with them here and the true citrus is always marred with sooty mold from the sucking insects. Crazy how different the succeptability can be for similar species. I’ve not fertilized these trees the last couple years in hopes of reducing the pests, but it hasn’t made much difference other than to reduce fruiting density

Impressive, Will!

Down here in Charlotte, my Changsha tangerine set fruit for the first time this year, and they have been turning orange this week:

I understand they are very seedy, but sweet. There are 18 tangerines now; my buddy Gayland Penny said there will be 100 next year.
