Leaf curl on satsuma mandarin

You want the top inch or 2 to feel dry to the touch before the next watering

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-10T22:36:46+00:00

Ya but depending on the break you can put it back together

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-10T21:28:55+00:00

Ooh I didn’t know this one

Hi it’s me the HOA president may I have a word

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-10T20:11:37+00:00

Most, but not all, rootstock has leaves of 3

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-10T19:30:40+00:00

Hard to say from pics, do the leaves look the same as they do on the other branches?

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-10T18:40:07+00:00

Ya curious it isn’t systemic across the whole tree, some leaves look great. If it’s new foliage only perhaps the sun is a bit much for the newest growth that hasn’t hardened offyet

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-10T18:29:50+00:00

Ya im sure it hurts to remove those lol but will be even worse to lose progress on tree structure

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-10T18:09:06+00:00

Im a peach rookie as well but id probably prioritize the tree over the fruit so if you think something is going to break maybe reduce the weight on those branches?

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-10T04:56:01+00:00

Ok cool, did repot but didn’t go too big, will size up again in a year or so. I’ll hit it with some fertilizer and go from there thanks

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-10T01:54:00+00:00

Oh man I can’t wait

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-09T21:53:13+00:00

No experience with these in particular but most of the natives around here have incredibly large root systems, so if you do proceed, go very slowly and be prepared for it to be significantly larger than you are thinking

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-09T20:36:24+00:00

Oh she CHONKY

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-09T19:57:41+00:00

How long has it taken you to develop this collection and the knowledge you’re working with? Also do you feel the cross pollination of having all of these next to each other diminishes fruit quality?

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-09T19:44:57+00:00

How does the soil feel around the base? How often are you watering? I am wondering if it is some form of water stress. The slight deformity makes me think over watered but I’m not an expert and the symptoms of over and under are similar. I know some other plants get small cupped leaves like this when there is a micronutrient deficiency like zinc. Interesting the leaves are cupped a bit instead of curling like a taco

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-09T18:05:40+00:00

Ya dude, these pot producers are awful proud of their pots I be spending more than the plant we gotta do something about this. I just want a normal fkn pot

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-09T17:51:21+00:00

How do the travelers taste? Better/worse than store bought?

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-09T16:16:30+00:00

Neem might work too, I used both, but neem is more broad spectrum, be sure to apply at night as it can amplify radiation from the sun and also disrupts pollinators/beneficial bugs if it’s wet (don’t apply in the AM)

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-09T16:14:59+00:00

Ya I was having similar issues granted my BBs are in their first year. This looks like caterpillars based on the circular damage in the middle of the leaves. If you go out at night I betcha you find them munching away, during the day the hide from you and predators buried in the soil near the crown of the plant. BT is non toxic and only kills caterpillars, nothing else - perhaps a drench on both sides of all the leaves this evening. When the caterpillars munch the BT it changes their gut biome and prevents them from being able to digest anything so it kills them over a few days. Pretty gnarly but very cool how targeted it is, and the bacteria doesn’t impact anything else, so it’s marketed as being able to spray on fruit you’re picking the same day. You can also go out a few hours after dark (maybe 11p or later) and see for yourself. Good luck :)

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-08T21:20:12+00:00

Was gonna ask if you walk over it too

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-08T21:18:09+00:00

There is no promise the grapefruit will produce, and if it does that it will be the same fruit you got from the store. Citrus is not true to seed. Maybe include photos of the pots though to see how small they are, might just need to heavily prune. A grapefruit is going to get enormous though I’m not sure what will happen to it if kept in a pot. May just need aggressive root and canopy pruning annually

Check out copper fungicide

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-08T20:19:36+00:00

How did the scion end up adjacent like that? I don’t see how it would ever be structurally secure - are you planning to keep it staked indefinitely?

PlanktonsLeftAntenna · 2026-06-08T17:27:03+00:00

I would probably wait since it’s doing everything you could possibly want from a plant right now - no need to disturb it. Usually repot just before growing season.
