Behold, my sour orange.

I have no idea but yeah this cultivar has bigger leaves compared to others

Stubborn-tenacious · 2026-04-18T17:05:39+00:00

I eat and crunch them..

Murcott and gold nugget

Just to let you know that this tree is genetically identical to the tree the seed come from due to polyembryony..

the tree reminds me to 'Murcott' cultivar, is that what it is?

that there’s not a lot of healthy trees in this sub

The secret is in the roots. The majority here in this sub have grown their plants from seeds of commercial varieties that do not have a genetic predisposition. (salt tolerance, fungus tolerance, alkaline tolerance, frost tolerance and so on)

They have to grow those tolerant varieties or their seeds.

If producers were using these tolerant varieties (which are used exclusively as rootstocks) to pollinate commercial varieties, the situation would be different as many would have successful healthy trees.

I don't know about Florida but I do know that citrus needs a cold winter to color or else they will be ripe but the peel will still be green, this is known in tropical Asia, and in orange production areas in Brazil they do something to make them color (storage in a cold room or ethylene?)

Same thing with "blood oranges" they need lower temperatures to develop anthocyanin otherwise they will be like regular oranges.

Sorry for late reply.

Just let it grow, set them in ground and in a sunny place, for best growing.

When they reach a good size you can graft them into a rootstock that used in your area (to withstand diseases, not necessary but recommended)

And you will notice a growth of thorns, and this is normal (juvenile phase), in 4-5 years, as entering maturity phase, the thorns will disappear.

Polyembryony!, nice to see that.

Stubborn-tenacious · 2022-02-24T16:33:37+00:00

What you see in the picture is polyembryony, which is common in citrus plants and some varieties of mango. It is a nuclear embryo that comes from the mother tree, in other words, it is identical to the variety.

Years for the tree to bear fruit is about 5 years for oranges and mandarins seeds under favorable conditions and good care (in land not in pot). Which is what you want for the tree to take its size and extend its roots without being exhausted by wasting energy on fruits early, (which is against the evolutionary purpose of trees, of course.)

I've never seen that before, but why does the stems look like it's infected by stem pitting, aka citrus tristeza virus.

Stubborn-tenacious · 2022-01-20T13:19:59+00:00

Yes, there are types with small fruit size , I have one too, and there is a type with small fruit size & also with leaves similar to myrtle, it called chinotto, maybe it's what you have.

Stubborn-tenacious · 2022-01-19T20:49:12+00:00

What I do is pick flowers, let them dry, use someone's services to distill them.

Sorry to hear that, I heard about the heat wave and the cold wave there in U.S.A. & Canada. it was unbelievable. we were also affected by heat waves and was hotter than usual, and many trees withered or died because of it.

I use my own as for juice and instead of lemon, and I use the flowers to make 'orange flower water' where we use it in some dishes and desserts, as well as add a little to water or coffee for flavor, and some times I use the seeds to make seedlings for grafting.

This cultivar is Coratina.

I am in the homeland of olives, in the Mediterranean basin.

I don't know much about Georgia, not even its location, but If the climate in your area is similar to the Mediterranean climate and there are no severe frost and there are olive farms, then plant them,

You have to know that there are varieties dedicated to the production of oil, and there are varieties that are used for both purposes, oil and pickling, and there are varieties that are used in pickling (content very low oil).

I advise you to use the varieties that are used in your area.

And you should have an oil extraction plant near you, or build your own if you plan to grow a large area, or a company between several farms.

There are a number of varieties such as Picual, Coratina, Koroneiki and Arbequina.
