    Aloha Mark! I have a giant tangerine tree in Hawaii (rained 254 days in 2018, 360' elevation). This year, the fruit bounty is incredible because my friend suggested that I pressure wash the tree trunk/branches. This made a HUGE difference in production. I believe the Lichens and Moss that took over the tree were sucking life out of her. After pressure washing (1,600 psi Ryobi) the trunk and branches, this tree produced way more than 2018. This is useful info on East side of Big Island, Hawaii. Mahalo, -Matthew

    All your videos are great with loads of useful information.
    Thanks a lot and please keep them coming.
    I recycle my grass clippings plus I use Sugar cane mulch to have at least a 120mm bed of mulch. It's convenient way to feed the tree because I spread the citrus fertilisers over it and it releases slowly as I water.
    Also watering is less frequent because as you know, the bottom of the mulch stay moist for a very long time. The mulch also supplies a nice soft landing for any fruit that drops.
    My Washington Navel recently died, I think someone damaged it near the base with a lawn mower. In its last season, it produced a huge amount of fruit, mostly large and many of the fruit this time had quite a number of seeds. I think it knew it was dying and did its best to have offspring.
    It was grafted onto Trifoliata root stock and was about 30 years old.
    I have now bought a baby one in replacement but I think I will keep it in a large pot.

    @toothfullymm Před 4 lety +5

    Tips:
    1. Growing position for maximum sun and away from harsh winds
    2. Food in form of fertilizer like chicken manure but read manufacturer instructions on fertilizer so you have don’t over fertilize. If using animal product, it should not be fresh, let it rot first.
    3. Water. If dropping leaves or fruit may need more water.
    4. Pests- Should use organic options, not chemicals
    5. Mulch protects roots from drying out. Helps hold in nutrients and fertilizer.

    2 years ago my mandarin tree made 500-600 fruit but we could not get all the fruit, this year it made roughly 60 fruit maybe more. The outer skin is easy to peel, the fruits can be very large for a mandarin but normally average sized

Havent tasted a manderine till you eat homegrown. Dont let colder regions like sth Victoria put you off. Imperial variety is a goer. East to peel.

    Thank you for your commitment to growing organically! It’s not always easy but long term, caring for the well being of your entire garden’s environment pays dividends. And I loved that you included a mention to allow some loss of fruit to go to wild birds and animals. It’s only natural. Why go to extremes that can harm your backyard ecology, only to insure an extra handful of fruit?
    Thanks again for your thoughtful insights into sustainable growing and your joyful demeanor in the garden.

    I love watching your videos. I get lots of ideas to use in my garden. I've been trying to get my husband to build the taller metal planters. Maybe some day. I wish we could grow a lot of citrus. Here in Central Florida we have whats called "Greening." It's a disease which causes the citrus trees to decline and die. We made it trough citcus canker. Now this. We will do what we can to keep the few trees we have alive as long as possible.

    • @Selfsufficientme
      @Selfsufficientme  Před 6 lety

      Citrus Greening sounds like a horrible disease! That's worse than the damage caused by our dreaded fruit fly here in Oz at least they only target the fruit directly but being a destructive bacteria that remains in the tree forever once infected is terrible. I hope one-day science finds a simple cure for such a problem. All the best :)

    Mark, always good. This is just an observation. A recent/distant video I saw of your was your uncle had about 3 dozen herds of native bees down the back. Pollination is really important to maximise citrus production, growers are learning more about that now. Even with hemaphrodite flowers many trees especially mango and citrus benefit greatly from pollination. I am not saying bees are necessary, like you, a healthy insect flora is sooo important to any environment or food production system. You may have a secret ingredient... :) ..... Another great video.....cheers... [ps.... do bees come in herds?.. I suspect they do, but might just be me!

    • @Selfsufficientme
      @Selfsufficientme  Před 6 lety +2

      I do suspect that you're right to suggest it helps to have good pollinators - that's a point I should include in a video because it's a really good one! My uncle removed those hives last week (after 4 years) and left me with one... sad I know... but he wanted to relocate them closer to his home and away from the bog down the back of our property. I still do see plenty of bees accessing our garden even though he has taken away 18 hives so I reckon there are many natural hives out in the bush regardless. Cheers :)

Neighbours trees keep the light out but one neighbour has just cut a tree down and I have asked the other neighbour to do the same. I have some oscmocote for succulents I just bought. Guess I can’t use that on the tree can i? Will have to get some mulch from Bunnings. Thanks for the help. 🐌🐞

    Love your videos. Even though you are in Australia you have a very similar climate as I do in Melbourne Florida. I also love citrus but growing citrus here can be A LOT OF WORK. We have much disease and fungus due to the high humidity factor. I have to check on my citrus almost every single day. So anyway my comment is about the dogs at the end of your video. I think a simple solution would be to plant some kind of privacy plant just on your side of the property so the dogs really can't see you. I'm sure with a little research you could probably find something thick and something that could provide food. Good luck and keep the videos coming.

We have a lime tree also covered in those bugs. Thanks now I know what they are. Not sure how old the tree is as was here when we brought the place. But it’s covered in them. Someone suggested using white oil. But now I wonder if this is not a good idea as you said about the good bugs. Hmm. I’ll be there for days though if I try pick all the bugs off😖
