RE: tangelo

hard to say what the problem it without seeing it. see if you can get someone from ag extension out to look at it [i used to drive them nuts with those kinds of requests, but they always came]. yeah, 50-50 orange/green is about ripe. see if it will pick easily. if it does, it's ready; if it doesn't test it again in a week or so.

my first of the year orange became ripe today.

The fruit is about 50% orange now- but the plant's leaves still look
pathetic- yellowish.  I dug a BIG hole when I planted it, amended, and it is
on a slope- so I hope it isn't getting too much water- tried to prevent
that- just not sure what it's problem is.  Suggestions?  Iron didn't seem to
have any effect- used it a both foliar and watered it in to the soil too.

how is your tangelo doing now, theresa. assuming it hasn't floated away.
the fruit on mine is just beginning to ripen. just picked one, in fact, and
it's very sweet and juicy.
