If I had known then what I know now I may not have started from a pip. Apparently it takes at least 15-20 years for citrus to become mature enough to flower. My first fruit was in year 25

I have taken a few cuttings, I'm hopeful they will mature a lot quicker than that.

My mother planted a White oak tree she said one day it has not made any acorns then she found out they do not produce acorns until 55 years old.

Afternoon Charlie.


Is that tree still standing?

"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." ---- Chinese Proverb

"Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago." ---- Warren Buffett

White oak may live 200 to 300 years, with some even older specimens known.
