 to add to that-If you wack an orange tree with a baseball bat(or
othersimilar
 shaped object) it will start to bear fruit.  To kind of wake it up.My
 grandmothers tree has fruit on it for the first time since it was
 planted(6years)   Don't know if it works on all citrus trees.

 I wonder if this explains the "ever-bearing" lemon my parents had, my baby
 brother regularly beat it with a stick saying it was a giant or a dragon or
 such and needed to die.  It had lemons year round until a bad frost killed
it
 one year.

Maybe we have stumbled on to a medieval gardening tip.  Fruit groves will be
begging stick jocks to come and practice on their trees.  We could solve the
worlds hunger problems and no one would thirst!
     Back to reality--Lord Ras I would love to see the pics when you find
them.

P.S.  Remember-never beat up anything bigger than yourself.
