My grapefruit is growing!

9 years ago

Finally after a couple of years of fighting dieback it's starting to put out new growth.

I'm wondering what the best feet regime would be should I use the regular citrus fert or give it something more balanced?

Congratulations! I would use citrus fertilizer. That IS balanced for citrus.

Ok thanks Patty.

Should I increase watering or wait till it got more leaves?

No, don't increase watering or it may tamp off. I would keep it moist but not overly moist.

Heh, thanks Mike.

I'll get some picks of my 'seedlings' at some point they are doing really well. I've got a Meyer lemon that's growing like mad, mostly horizontally and a rooted cutting that's doing similar but I'm really glad about this Grapefruit as it was one of my 1st trees and it's been close to death for a couple of years I'm hoping it will start to pick up now. The actual sun has been quite good here the temps arnt great but ok and it's probably not good to have too much heat too soon right?

I'll keep watering to a minimum for now unless it really starts looking thirsty.
