Seville orange fruit and seeds avaible now (forum)

Julie starts with ...
Anyone wanting the above please email me with your address: julwood at iprimus dot com dot au. I know there are 30-40 people wanting them by now, so please be patient - I can only do a few at a time. They have to be fresh, so I will do a batch before a trip to the post office.

I have lost all my computer info (it's there somewhere, but can't retrieve it till someone fixes it), so don't have any of the addresses sent to me.

Oops!. Typo: available now

Can't believe it! I had to cut up about 30 fruit to get a dozen seeds today. What on earth is going on? Is this a mineral deficiency or what?

Seville usually have lots of seeds, which help the marmalade to set. Most of the oranges either had no seeds, or very tiny undeveloped seeds. Lots of fruit, but smaller than usual.

So I could only post to two people today - hopefully more next week.

Where's Speedie when you need him?

Many citrus will only set viable seeds if there is another compatable cultivar flowering at the same time nearby and something to pollenate them. So it can vary a bit.

Julie, if you have more fruit perhaps leave them on the tree a bit longer? It seems we were lucky to get that earlier batch from you.

Mary welcome back!, I plan to do just that, though I'm not sure it will help.

denise, I've had this tree for about 18 years, and it has produced fruit with plenty of mature seeds every year but last year, and now. Would still like to know if it is a mineral deficiency.

There is also something I've never seen before - looks like severe snail damage,but isn't. I'll try and post a pic.

Hi Julie, here's some pics of some marmalade my sister made from Tangelos! I'm very surprised how good it tastes!
Oh, she added two lemons as well.

Thanks, Mike and Julie; it's good to be back (albeit to more than a few casualties in the garden; still counting the losses). Sigh.

Julie my citrus are not as consistent as yours and I'm getting used to their on and off temperaments. I have to be philosophical especially as I am trying to grow trees in pots. On a happy note my kumquat which was barren last year is now covered in flower buds. Fingers crossed.

Brendan I use all my citrus in different combinations for marmalade - oranges, lemons, kumquats, lemonade, limes, mandarins and tangelo - depending what shows up. They don't mind mingling :)

Hi Brendan,
The Tangelo marmalade your sister made looks impressive. Does she mind to share her recipe? I have a tangelo tree that we always can't finish the fruits. It would be good to use the excess fruits for marmalade.

Thanks, Mike. I think I need to get the garden back to ship shape before adding to it; you're right, I should also wait till it's warmer. Freezing wind today; though sunny. Simon if Brendan does not come back with a recipe just use any orange/lemon/lime marmalade recipe depending on how sweet/sour the fruit is.

For those interested in marmalade recipes, I attach my own. I should call it a "rough" seville marmalade recipe; not because I use rough sevilles but because it is a rough recipe. Regardless it works fine for me.

That didn't work so I will type it:

Seville Orange Marmalade

Wash a kilo of seville oranges and two lemons

With a sharp knife carefully cut the zest from the oranges and slice it finely

Juice the "shaved" oranges and the lemons. Add the sliced zest to the juice. Set aside.

Boil the leftover squeezed fruit, comprising skins, pith and seeds in about two litres of water for an hour or more until the pectin is released (no requirement for muslin bag). Strain the fruit mush from the pectin liquid.

You will end up with roughly one litre of juice/zest and one litre of strained pectin liquid

Add these together with sugar to taste (about 750g but up to a kilo if a sweet mix is desired)

Boil until setting point and jar up.

If they are selling the fruit there must be trees... but were they the rough skin, Amanda? We get the smooth skin Seville in Sydney but they are not the same thing. Marmalade from the smooth skin is NOTHING like the real thing.

These are from a seed grown from Julie's tree. Do they grow true to type? Do these look like rough skin Seville's? They certainly taste like marmalade.

I had two fruit on my Julie seville this year, and look just like that. The tree has had a tough couple of years, but is holding about 20 fruit at the moment. About 5 -6 years old and about 3 metres tall. Pretty tough tree.
