soidog2 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 They will but it will take a long time, up to ten years . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumbFalang Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I agree. It would be best for you to get hold of some cuttings and graft onto your rootstock. I grow Mexican Lemon trees so PM me if you are interested in cuttings or trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaipod Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I tried to grow lemon from seed and it never fruited due to the temperature can not get low enough to flower and fruit . Pulled it out yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somo Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Saw some lemons in Carrefour couple of days ago. Worked out at about 25 Baht each!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepsel Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I purchased a lemon plant and put it in a large container as nothing seems to grow in the soil in my garden. The first year it produced 3 lemons and this second year we have seven. They are huge in size but there is not much juice when they are squeezed.

BostonBurglar Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I have a sort of "Myers" lemon about 4 years old. Bought it at the weekend plant market on Sukhumvit in Pattaya. I raise it in a 1.000 x .40 concrete ring and it sets on top of a 1.000 flat concrete cover. There is a hole in the center I have used for support. Drainage is provided along the edges as they are not cemented. Fertilize monthly with alternate 8-26-26 and 15-15-15. Spray for insects and fungus diseases regularly. All organic by the way. Get about 30 very juicy fruits per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLW Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Anyone has some information (growers and nurseries in Thailand) about these two citrus species: - Kumquat (Fortunella) - Tahiti lime (Citrus latifolia) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLW Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I found one nursery by myself http://www.kasetporpeang.com/forums/index.php?topic=52059.0 They have a lot of different lime, including the Tahiti. But no Kumquat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 My wife bought a couple of grafted lime trees. Within a couple years one started producing pretty well. The other one took longer. When it fruited the fruit was larger. As they ripened they became oval shaped and started turning yellow. She came in one day and told me the fruit was no good. I went and checked. I told her it tasted bad to her because they were lemons. Not only that, they are seedless. First seedless lemons I have ever seen here in Thailand. Unfortunately she takes good care of the lime tree but ignores the lemon tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobbler Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I thought it was for good drainage. Rootrot can be a problem in wet season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khwaibah Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Where can i buy a lot of lemon trees? Not manao. Wife got hers in Chiang Mai. 450 baht each, Spanish Lemons. We took them to Surin both are a doing fantastic that was about 5 years back. By grafting she is now up to 12 and she just planted 5 more that were grafted which take the count to 17. The two originals are planted in the ground all others are potted. Grafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soidog2 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Forget about those puny things, feast your eyes on these Ponderosa lemons. Each one produces the juice of at least ten limes, only better tasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobbler Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Anyone know where to get Australian finger lime seeds from?,looking to grow from seed to small trees to sell.yes ,thats a smart idea. If i think about paying 450 bart , shit thats about $27 . Blooody hell. Im in the wrong business. I saw a lemon for 300 bart a couple of years ago and i thought that was expensive. Mind you i love what your mrs is doing with them by grafting. Now youve got 17 for 450 bart. The womans a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you plant them in cement rings? What area do you live in? Cheers Cobbler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khwaibah Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 The first tree is in the ground others are in a ring. The first tree is about 6 years old, all others about 2 to 3 years. We live in Kap Choeng, Surin. My wife is into the organic farming big time as there is no chemical fertilizer used. She is with a group of 12 others that were selected to attend a 1 week course in Roi ET by the Thai Army last year on organic farming and alternative crops. In our area I now know of at least 24 organic farms and the green markets are going nuts. If your in the area pm for location details and stop by. As for selling LEMON TREES some day maybe she is still grafting and planting. Just a couple weeks back saw lemons in the Rimping Market in CNX at 285 per kg. The spread. She is into pineapples 500 each about 6 months old and doing great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the asian nations opening up theres definitely a good market coming on there. Even without asian nations,still good market for exporting. You would be able to get your land cirtified as organic and then buyers will come to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khwaibah Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 The pineapple cutting are from the Raynong area at 50 baht each. There is a drip system as the dry seasons is coming up.
