making it orange
My MacKenzie 1010 has just about had it. The plant has been ravaged by
some insect or disease that I never was able to control. Eighty per
cent of the leaves are brittle and eaten through. The fruit is
approaching 200lbs but I doubt that it will make it....
I have had it under a tarp for most of its life and it is a creamy
butter color -- no hint of orange. I took of the tarp a few days ago
hoping for some sunshine but got nothing but cloud. I want to pick the
fruit in about two weeks.
Does anybody have any advice on how to encourage orange?
