I have a semi-dwarf clementine orange tree that has born fruit for about 3 years now. The fruit is as large as an orange but is always very dry, not much juice. I water and fertalize per Arizona conditions but every year the same thing happens. Any suggestions or help would be great! Thanks, Terris
Terris Sounds like you are still having watering problems. A quick check of Diseases of Citrus in Arizona, and a general look through the Citrus Disease index does not have your symptom listed as a disease. Which would lead me to think it is more a nutrient problem/water problem. The hot dry winds and direct sun could be drying out your fruit. Try protecting your tree with a shade and wind block or increase your watering after it begins to blossom. Gene
