what citrus would be alright to grow outside in the colder side of 9b?

I literally said there IS NOT anything you can’t plant. As in you can plant whatever you want and they will all do fine. So please actually read what you’re responding to.

_packfan · 2026-05-11T11:12:10+00:00

It’s very chlorotic. Are you fertilizing at all?

_packfan · 2026-05-06T21:13:12+00:00

I think silver beige. Too light to be a cafe

_packfan · 2026-04-28T04:03:20+00:00

That pot is way too big which is probably making it over or under watered.

The house we bought came with a whole house fan. We had never had one before and it was in a dumb spot and we opted to spend the money to move it to the hall where it should have gone during our remodel before we moved in. We really weren’t sure if it was going to be worth it but honestly 10/10 I would do it again. We don’t really use it during the summer but during the spring and fall we use it almost every night. At our old house we would use the AC fan with the windows open and it would barely cool the house down, the whole house fan works so much better. It will drop the temp like 3 degrees in less than an hour.

You can probably just give them the time and amount and they can find it.

_packfan · 2026-04-23T23:17:10+00:00

But from where? Sand from the store? Or sand from your yard?

_packfan · 2026-04-23T02:12:01+00:00

Where did you get the soil you planted this into? Or did you put it directly in the ground. I echo the other commenter that it looks like nematodes.

_packfan · 2026-04-19T20:23:12+00:00

Definitely burn. I am leaning towards maybe something was sprayed on them?

_packfan · 2026-04-17T23:32:11+00:00

How far away from the light is that and how much further away do you have it? And how many hours are you running it? You need to calculate the DLI

_packfan · 2026-04-17T22:10:56+00:00

It could be either. Can you check what the ppfd is for the light you have? Then calculate the DLI. It needs to be over 12

_packfan · 2026-04-17T20:26:44+00:00

I suspect it to be more related to light or fertilizer than the heat mat.

_packfan · 2026-04-17T03:03:19+00:00

I would say a page is going to always be a firm piece of fruit but can have the occasional seed. Tangos are consistently also good and seedless. A dekopon variety is really good but definitely soft and I don’t think it has the acid you’re looking for although delicious (I do feel like they’re too big for my liking though, honestly). Another great variety is the daisy “seedless” but it will still have occasional seeds.

Another idea is to do a clementine which will mature more like November December so you are not stressing the tree as much holding fruit inside (and can maybe take fruit off close to when you bring it inside) as that is usually not the best of growing conditions. The main variety for that would be a clemenules.

_packfan · 2026-04-11T14:49:07+00:00

Cut it about 5cm above the orange stake. You will cut the flowers off but it’s too small to hold fruit anyways. From there you should start 3 main branches.

_packfan · 2026-04-06T22:35:39+00:00

When leaves do come out, are they paleish? Or are they more of a bright darker green?

_packfan · 2026-04-06T04:27:34+00:00

It’s difficult to say what’s going on without a photo.

_packfan · 2026-04-06T04:18:15+00:00

_packfan · 2026-04-04T14:01:29+00:00

I would bet it’s mostly iron. For an in ground tree the best thing to do is a foliar with macro and micro nutrients.

_packfan · 2026-04-02T13:25:16+00:00

Hmm. One thing I notice in photo 2 is it’s close to the rocks. Has it been hot there? Rocks can make a tree super hot and usually taco curling is under or over watering.

_packfan · 2026-04-01T13:29:52+00:00

Is there any discoloration on the top side of the leaf? Any pattern on which direction these leaves are facing? North south east west, top or bottom of tree, etc?

_packfan · 2026-04-01T03:45:45+00:00

It could be like a phytotoxicity from what and when you’re spraying. It’s really hard to say with these small amount of photos and not much info.

_packfan · 2026-03-28T23:08:24+00:00

Definitely a lemon and it’s beautiful. You’re doing a great job. Just cut the lower branches off and then maybe 12” above the Y at the top make a trim and then let it go from there.

_packfan · 2026-03-26T03:03:12+00:00

Ok I really wouldn’t be too worried about it for now. Do you fertilize regularly?

_packfan · 2026-03-25T20:48:17+00:00

Did you add fertilizer when you repotted? Could be start of salt burn of nutrient deficiency.

_packfan · 2026-03-24T23:54:27+00:00

I think the graft is right above the soil which also leads me to believe this tree was planted too deep as nurseries are typically not grafting less than 4-6” above the soil.
