I didn't get any scions from FL this year. There are 3 scions grafted to that tree but I didn't check to see which one produced such a large leaf. The three are Wonderful, 100-46, and a Mississippi November native.phopkinsiii;716241 said:Jack
I have some that have done the same thing. It seems to be on the native scions that I grafted. I was going to ask if yours were Florida scions but I don't think I sent you any. I'd be curious to know what causes that and whether it's a good or bad sign for the future health of the tree.
I presume those large leaves are a good sign for future health. Leaves are the solar collectors for energy and I presume having more and larger leaves suggests the tree is firing on all cylinders. This tree has pretty good growth considering the smaller diameter, I grafted both sides of two leaders coming from the same root, and that it only gets morning sun and is shaded from about noon on.
Thanks,
Jack
