Great tip! That definitely works (especially for very ripe fruit). I noticed that for ripe mandarins, there often isn't enough leverage to pop it off because the peel is so detached from the flesh, unlike oranges, lemons, etc. Thanks for watching, Jesse!

You bet! That's the kind of stuff I'd wonder about too

Thanks!

Thanks, Austin. We're blessed with citrus out here! Page orange sounds intruiguing! On googling it, it looks like the more affordable sources only ship to a few southeastern regions. I'll add that to my "may just have to plant it" list

My pleasure 😊 Glad to have you!

So nice of you! Congrats on your new trees! What did you plant?

The Busy Gardener hi! I planted a couple mandarin trees, a peach and plum tree, a moro blood orange, two variegated lemon trees, and two Eureka lemon trees in pots because I ran out of room. Lol I also have a fig and lime tree that already produce fruit. It's a lot to figure out for a new gardener so I really appreciate your help!

Thanks!

The best mulch is the one that actually gets put down, 😂. Seriously though, a chipped hardwood mulch is best (like what tree companies use). Here is one video, but I've got a handful of mulch related videos: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdRgormf283UZJ8.html

@@TheBusyGardener thank you so much

I've got some kumquats in containers! They're not fruiting right now, however, so another time :). That mandelo is GOOOD. Stay tuned for my taste test vid.

Bring your box!

Nice collection, Manny! You should start to see production start to increase dramatically in the next few years as your trees mature. Any favorites of the bunch?

The naval orange and tarroco blood orange and the persian lime are my favorites

The story of that navel orange is fascinating!

@@TheBusyGardener In the Caribbean they don't turn orange like they do here, mostly green with some yellow on the bottom. My tree was killed in 2017 Texas winter, it was loaded. I now have a small tree still in a pot with 5 large fruits on it. I love those oranges.
