2nd year and another lovely lemon on my Fruit Salad Tree. 4 citrus (2 oranges, grapefruit and Myer lemon) grafts. Steady patience and limiting fruit crop for a few years while this tree establishes (despite grower's advice to the contrary). I found that even though the root stock is established 3 years old, grafts still need a few years to establish and strengthen before allowing full fruit production. #fruitsaladtree #gyo

Fruit Salad Tree. Learning curve with this 4 citrus tree. Although advised mature graft stock, grafts ready to fruit. Last year's oranges although tasty, were small.Think I did the right thing by only letting one lemon fruit this season. I believe, regardless of graft stock age, the fruit bearing grafts still need to mature, to produce quality fruit. With gardeners patience this little tree will reward with crops of mandarin, lemon and two varieties of oranges in a few seasons. #fruitsaladtree

Fruit Salad Tree. Three Valencia oranges and one small Afoura mandarin nearly ready to pick. First fruit from the grafted tree (graft stock three years old). Also grafted with Meyer Lemon and Washington Navel orange, yet to fruit. Think I will let the tree rest for a year to build stronger branches before setting next fruit. #fruitsaladtree #gyo

Fruit Salad Tree. 4 grafted fruit (Valencia and Washington navel orange, Meyer Lemon and Mandarin) on one tree. My first crop of 4 oranges and on the lower branch, one Afourer mandarin. Colouring up nicely. #fruitsaladtree

Watching first fruit on my "Fruit Salad Tree". #grafted 4 #citrus fruits, Valencia orange (top fruit 3 right, 1 left) and small fruit just visible 2nd branch from bottom on right is Afourer mandarin. Other fruits grafted are Meyer lemon and Washington navel orange. These citrus are suited to NE Qld subtropical conditions.
