🌱 Natural Agriculture: Natural Citrus Fruits

Welcome everyone! How are you doing? Thank you so much for stopping by the blog again.

Today, I’m treating you to some lovely blossoms and the beautiful contrasts nature is giving us this season. First, let’s look at the rose bush: incredibly, at this time of the year when it should be losing its leaves and going dormant for the colder months, it is actually blooming! However, I’m keeping a close eye on it to detect if there are any ants around, as they can devour tender new growth in no time if left unchecked.

Next up, we dive into the Rangpur lime (Citrus × limonia, locally known as limón mandarina), which is showing off its beautiful, fragrant white flowers alongside its ripe fruits. Yesterday, while checking on the orchard, a single fruit fell naturally to the ground. This is the ultimate sign that the citrus tree is at its peak and ready for harvest! I’ve included a close-up macro photo and a general shot so you can see the tree's overall progress. The Rangpur lime is a fascinating hybrid—it brings the sharp acidity and aroma of a lime but features the bright orange skin and easy-peeling traits of a mandarin, making it incredibly versatile and hardy.

Our other star today is the classic mandarin orange tree. As I mentioned in my previous post, the fruits are absolutely delicious and sweet this year. In the video embedded below, I explain both species in detail and show you exactly how I harvested a Rangpur lime.

One accompanies the other, if the rose bush peels there are ants so I detect them and act.

Personal update: If I can get over this flu or start feeling a bit better, in the next post I plan to transplant as many lemon trees as I can out of the greenhouse to give them more room to grow.
