"Jade"
First grafted:
2021-05-22
2021-05-22
Obtained as a grafted tree from Oliver Moore in Gainesville, FL.
 | Update | 2024-09-07 19:04:21 | Very healthy regrowth on the outdoor tree this year despite some lingering damage on the trunk near the graft union. |
 | Update | 2024-04-24 19:39:59 | Looks like I failed to post an update when the greenhouse graft first started flowering on March 27. It's about 75% finished now, with new vegetative growth going strong as well. (not pictured) The top of the tree was pruned at the 9' rafter height to encourage more lateral growth just below that height. |
 | Winter survivor! | 2024-03-27 00:00:40 | The outdoor Jade graft is beginning to bud out, so I'm going to officially call this one a winter survivor! |
 | Flowering update | 2024-03-09 01:07:48 | Still no open flowers! But getting closer. |
 | Flowering update | 2024-02-05 22:52:00 | The flowers are just beginning to expand, looks like it might be on track to open first flowers around the same time as Duke. |
 | Flowering update | 2024-01-28 07:20:36 | The main greenhouse graft of this variety failed to flower either of the last two springs since it was grafted, but looks loaded with dense flower buds now, and will likely start blooming earlier than Duke. |
 | Frost update | 2023-12-15 23:39:35 | The outdoor in-ground tree was in the middle of a strong vegetative flush when the first frosts came, and most of the newest leaves were badly damaged. The oldest leaves show little to no damage, though. So far, winter low of 28°F. |
