Comments (7)Hey Nik I think its PM. It's like a dust that settles over the leaves. It might be sooty mildew or something else though. The first year I had my trees, I just thought it was dust and then I realized it wasn't. I can wipe it off quite easily but I use the neem oil to keep down the insects that spread it and also scale. In virginia it is very humid and when the trees are in the high tunnel, air flow is restricted despite having a fan blowing etc.... If I relax my guard, then scale and this mildew stuff goes rampant. Taking care of citrus can be labor intensive until you find a rhythm. I'm not quite there yet but I'm learning a lot and feel like I'm getting closer.

Comments (1)No need to graft. The purpose of grafting is to take a fruit age twig off a mature tree and attach it to a better root stock to get a good tree with strong disease resistant roots and get fruit sooner. Since your twig is a baby it will not fruit until it is a large tree with it's own root or another trees roots' Yes, you can take buds off your tree and graft them on a desirable root stock. If this tree is your's to keep I would be inclined to keep it on it's own roots. You can still take buds of it and graft to a rootstock of your choice. That is what I had planned to do with a meiwa kumquat and a poncirus trifoliata rootstock. I found it to be so difficult I will keep my tree on its own roots....See Moreandy_sa
