In April, some varieties are already in bloom.
Blooms are often very abundant and always very fragrant. <\/p>\n\n

\"\"
Clementine trees are among the most advanced. Since mid-April, they have been covered with clusters of flowers that perfume the air.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Clementine trees produce a profusion of small flowers over a long period. There are flowers in various stages of development, budding, open, wilted with the tiny fruit forming. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Caracara orange trees are almost as early. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
The flowers are larger, with the typical star shape.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
The pink pomelos are following suit, mostly buds for the time being.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
A few flowers are starting to open timidly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Some Meyer lemon trees have been in flower since mid-April.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Other Meyer lemon trees have decided to make leaves first, and are just now coming out with their first pink\/purple buds. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Each Meyer has his own character and wakes up in his own way. Those that flower first will make leaves later.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
They quickly become tiny lemons. This one will probably already be big and ripe by July\/August.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
The Satsuma Okitsu are not to be outdone.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
They make very dense clusters. but very few of these flowers go on to become mandarins, 5 to 10% at most. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
These very young Owari Satsumas are also flourishing. It’s quite rare: in the first year after grafting, most citrus trees don’t flower yet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
This one looks set to make at least two mandarins.<\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
