What exactly is this? New growth? Do I need to do anything with it? I live in Texas and it’s extremely hot right now.

First time grafting and rooting citrus cuttings grafting 2 shiranui, 1 variegated sour orange, 1 variegated cara cara, 1 variegated pink eureka, and 1 variegated kumkuat. What i didnt give away to people in my local plant group i decided to try to root. I noticed the variegated cara caras and kumkauts failed exceptionally fast with both methods. The variegated sour orange graft was looking good but unfortunately looks like its now starting to fail. Photos at 8 days progress.
Im assuming some of them already pushing new growth is a good sign. I vent the dome for about 10-20 minutes a day. Used .8% rooting hormone and coco coir for the cuttings im attempting to root and an airlayer on meyer lemon. Root stock from 4 winds and budwood from Madison. Pretty sure im hooked, this is way too much fun 😁

Please help identify what this is. I’ve planted these eureka 35 years ago and I noticed 3 out of 4 have splitting on the trunks and some amber ooze. The canopy looks fine and we have a great crop of lemons this year but I’m really worried about this trunk issue.
The only thing recently the zones were changed and this zone was added to the rose section. They get more water than normal and are slightly recessed from ground level. No pooling but the dust is damp

Heyy , I grow few fruits trees in pot in my backyard but I always wanted to add a citrus tree to my collection. Someone sell this unknown mandarin tree for 15€ /17$ (≈ 21€/ 24$ with the fees delivery). So should I buy this ? It is a good deal ?

I’m in Los Angeles, Zone 10a. I have a few lemon, lime, and orange trees, all less than 4 feet tall. Most planted about 1 year ago. They are fruiting but not growing new leaves and I’m struggling with watering/soil health. My soil is probably too alkaline, around 6.5-7. Trying to lower it with sulfur. Watering: I feel like during hot streaks, I should be watering when the top 2 inches dry out, but my moisture meter reads as wet as it can read when I stick it down 7-8 inches.
When citrus is in ground, do I trust the finger test or the moisture meter? Just maddening, but I kinda assume they’re a bit like raising kids….keep them alive and in a few years they are less needy!
I got a lime tree from Costco 3 years ago that hasn’t grown much. It flowers and gives me like 3 limes but hasn’t grown. I’ve been using foliage pro to fertilize the last 2 months and have seen a lot more green leaves but in the last week noticed these growing from the base. Is it rootstock? Do I need to remove this?

Second year since I planted in a hot 10B zone but it's been a relatively mild summer so far. I fertilize regularly and keep it organic. It's on a low volume drip line 3 days a week. A few lemons are growing but there's some leaf damage. Cause of concern?

I have a grapefruit tree in the same yard that’s on the same watering system and it’s doing just fine. But my orange tree looks sad. It’s July in Phoenix so I know it’s stressed, but the bark is peeling and it looks like I have a large branch dying. What do we think is going on?

My tree is in zone 9B in Northern California. I think it is stressed. It didn’t flower much this year. But all of a sudden there are many new shoots. Is this a good sign or are these suckers?

Not sure what this is and how I should go about removing it - just cut off the leaf?
