Yemenite Ethrogim with no fear of grafting or orlah

[weiss613]

Part 4 A big reason for you to respond is that every single leaf on every single citrus trees of mine are absolutely 100% picture perfect without a sign of fungus, insect eating or any infestation or disease or malnutrition. They are deep green and spectacularly perfect.

Part 3 I have much knowledge of growing perfect citrus and I'm sure that I can learn much from you too. I have some amazing varieties of eating citrus including the Oroblanco grapefruit from Israel also known as the "Sweetie"

My email is weiss613 at aol.com Looking forwarded to broadening this relationship based on our love for our holy fruit. I have no financial interest in Esrogs .

Part 2 I suspect this is because I "push" my trees for the first 3 years since we can't benefit from them I give them such a perfect growing environment they do not need to reproduce. I did something wrong with the one with the beautiful babies! I would like to speak to you from a purely altruistic perspective on the growing of citrus in Dade County and I'd like you to visit my 130 citrus at my 1/2 acre home and I'd like to see your trees too.

part 1

I am also from Miami-Kendall and my son sent me some kosher Yemenite Esrog seeds and after 1 year and 7 months I have a bunch of Esrogs on one of my 5 trees that are in the ground. The other 4 have not even had an assexual flower.

interesting

[msj120]

Interesting, one question is that according to the Rambam and the removal of the pitom, does it not mean to indicate then, there should be the possibility of a pitom being able to grow? Do these Yemenite NEVER grow a pitom, or simply rarely grow one?

[wd8z99q]

Ive never seen a pitom on any Yem Ethrog tree Ive grown (>15). But, I cant say for sure that all Yem Ethrogim of this type are always pitom-less. BUT ALL Yem. ethrogs of this type Ive observed & purchased were ALWAYS pitomless, by the time they reached the stores (>100 ethrogs). Thus, they don't grow with it OR at very least (if ever) it falls off naturally on tree. Either way: NOTHING to do w/ Kashruth: as is still commonly & mistakenly thought-by many.

Omedyashar, thank you for sharing this beautiful video with me!

[wd8z99q]

Thanks Omed. I fixed that notation. Truth be told, there are two proof texts from RaMb"M. Perhaps, I should have spoken the second one out loud, which in many ways is a stronger proof from the MT. There is no doubt that grafting in prior times (and even most grafting today) certainly does/did effect the actual CONTENT of the fruit. Thus, even the seeds used are questionable in today's times.

[omedyashar]

Around 2:11 mins into the video, you say pereq zan (chapter 7)... but in the annotations it says chapter 8.

[omedyashar]

The halakha he quoted is in chapter 7 (as he said, but in contrast to the annotation)... halakha 5.

[wd8z99q]

Thank you for the correction. I fixed that, and added another proof text from RaMb"M, which I believe is MUCH stronger anyway.

EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!!

Thank you so much.
