Doctor/Patient Relationship-Are the Surveys Accurate?
We have all seen them. You know…those charts showing us how satisfied patients are with the way their doctors communicate. Did your doctor listen to you? Did you doctor explain things in a way you could understand?
Funny thing about these charts, whether for they be for hospitals or doctor's offices, is that 1) they never seem to change from year to year – 8O-90% of doctors communicate well with patients and 2) doctors' communication are highly rated in patient satisfaction surveys at most if not all provider organizations.
The problem with satisfaction data related to doctor-patient communication is that, at face value, it simply doesn't correlate with other published data on the subject. There is a "disconnect" between what patients say in satisfaction surveys and what happens in actual practice.
Here's what I mean.
Recent studies of hospitalized patients have shown that:
- 68% to 85.3% of patients could not name the physician in charge of their care.
- 43% to 58% of patients did not know the reason for their hospital admission.
- 67% of patients received a new medication while hospitalized… yet 25% of these patients were unaware that they were given a new medication.
- 90% of patients given a new medication reported never being told of adverse effects of the new medication.
- 38% of patients were not aware of planned tests for the day.
The amazing thing was that majority of these patients (up to 58% in one study) said that their doctors always explained things in ways they could understand!
The same types of "disconnects" show up in satisfaction surveys done in doctor's offices. Studies of primary care physicians show that:
- Patients are interrupted by their physicians within the first 18 seconds of their opening statement during office visits
- Physicians and patients agree on the reason for the office visit only 50% to 70% of the time
- Physician underestimate the patient's desire for health information in 65% of the time
- 50% of patients walk out of their doctor's office not understanding what their doctor told them to do
- Patient are not asked if they have any questions in up to 50% of office visits
Again, I am sure these same patients praised their physicians' communication skills on one or another satisfaction survey instrument.
So What Explains The "Disconnect" Between How Physicians Actually Talk To Patients…And Patient Satisfaction?
Today's high patient satisfaction scores are an artifact of the way we (when we become patients) have been "socialized" when it comes to a trip to the doctor's office. Here's what I mean.
1) Beginning with childhood, we have all been socialized to assume the "sick role" when seeing the doctor. From our initial visits to the pediatrician with our Mom we quickly learned that the doctor is in charge and that our Mom's role (and ours) is to sit passive by while the doctor does most of the talking. Notwithstanding all the "talk" about how empowered patients are today, most of us still assume the "sick role" when seeing our doctor.
2) Accustomed as most of us today are to the sick role, and accepting the fact that physicians are very busy, we are not surprised when doctors don't seem to listen to us or interrupt us. We are not surprised that they don't have time for all our questions or frown on us bringing in lists of things we have researched on the internet. This for most patients is what we are used to…it is what we are satisfied with given that most of us have don't another or better point of comparison, i.e., a highly patient-centered physician.
3) Consistent with the sick role, we as patients "tend to be overly patient." We "grant our doctors the benefit of every doubt." Most of us begrudgingly put up with poor service, inconvenience, and unnecessary discomforts, until we can't overlook it anymore. Even then we are reluctant to take our busy, overburdened doctor to task for these shortcomings by giving them a low score on a satisfaction survey.
The Take Away?
Hospital, medical group, IPA and ACO executives need to:
- Be cautious about putting too much credence in patient ratings of physician communication skills. "One can assume that the quality of care is actually worse than surveys of patient satisfaction would seem to show" to quote Avedis Donabedian, MD, an old professor of mine.
- Recognize that high quality, patient-centered communications (the gold standard for physician-patient communications) is essential to patient engagement, optimal patient outcomes and great patient experiences. If physician communication were as great as patients satisfaction surveys suggest, we wouldn't be having the problems we are with low levels of patient engagement and non-adherence.
- Benchmark the patient centered communication skills of the primary care physicians on their staff (employed and otherwise) and compare the findings against established best practices.
- Take the additional reimbursement you will get from CMS for your patient high satisfaction scores and invest it back into improving the patient-centered communication skills of their physicians and patients. That is, if you don't have to pay a penalty to CMS for high re-admission rates – which by the way is another by-product of poor physician-patient communication.
Remember that there is perhaps no better, more cost effective way to differentiate your physicians (and your brand) these days than to have physicians on staff who really know how to listen and relate to patients.
That's mu opinion…what's your?

"My wife and I just had to go down a level on Health Care because we weren't getting service for our PPO plan. She is pregnant and I thought a lower plan might actually be better. People are dropping Blue Shield PPO left and right. Hopefully an HMO will be better so we can be seen. I'll go broke if I have to sign up for an even higher PPO plan."

yard dragged my keel
Haul out is never a fun time but this year I had an unfortunate incident! The yard owner hit the wall, then dragged it for twenty feet before I got his attention. It is a twenty four C&C and has a four foot, what looks to be lead keel. I was a little taken back but accepted the comment from him that he thought it. Was high enough to clear the wall! He offered and then filed a small gouge where it hit the wall. I then proceeded to back my SUV into a nearby electrical shore box while Moving it! OUCH! Upon further inspection on the keel there is a flat spot afoot long where it was dragged and a jagged spot on the stern starboard side of the keel. I asked him to grind it and shape it for me. He agreed to in the spring. The forward keel bolt has a slight twist to it that was already there. Getting to my question, what damage could there be, is grinding sufficient to smooth out the front edge of the keel is the keel in fact lead with no covering? Thanks

Mitsubishi Lancer Body Kits
Featured Body Kits Products
Mitsubishi Lancer body kits are custom exterior parts that can be installed to upgrade and revitalize a vehicle's appearance. After years of usage, the exterior parts on many vehicles begins to look outdated. Any damage to a car's paint or to the exterior parts themselves can lower a car's market value, making the use of body kits is just that significant. A body kit can make a vehicle look newer, without ever replacing any of the mechanics of the automobile.
Some custom Mitsubishi Lancer body kits products include replacements for several exterior parts, air dams and side skirts. These are the places of a vehicle that are most typically damaged from regular driving, but these aren't the only pieces that can be easily fixed. Other aftermarket parts can be used to upgrade a car's appearance, so Mitsubishi Lancer body kits can sometimes be special ordered to a car owner's specific desires. For an upgraded appearance that eliminates the outdated appearance created from years of usage, a cool body kits can serve you well.

On Monday China's Ministry of Commerce announced its second rare earth export quota of 15,550 tonnes for this year.
The quota includes 13,821 tonnes for light rare earth metals and 1,670 tonnes for heavy rare earth metals.
Monday's announcement brings this year's full year REE quota to 31,001 tonnes. The REE quota for the first half of this year was set at 15,501 tonnes.
China, which produces 95% of global rare earths, exported 16,265 tonnes of rare earths in 2012 although the allocated quota for last year was 30,966 tonnes.
The ministry said that this year's quota was based on actual rare earth exports from 2010 to 2012, according to a statement published on its website.
A new report announced Monday by Albany, New York-based Transparency Market Resource noted that rare earth metals demands demand was worth US$3.93 billion in 2012 and is expected to reach US$8.19 billion by 2018.
Transparency Market Resource said China was the largest regional market for rare earth metals in Asia in 2011, accounting for 50% of total volumes. "Regional demand for magnets and the growing metallurgy industry are expected to drive the Asia Pacific market in the near future."

Massachusetts Blazed the Trail to Marriage Equality
May 17, 2014 by Guest contributor
Post submitted by Chad Gifford, former CEO of BankBoston and Chairman of Bank of America, and his wife Anne were early public supporters of marriage equality.
We should be immensely proud that Massachusetts blazed the trail to marriage equality. It's hard to believe all that has happened and all we have learned over these past 10 years. States throughout the land are following our lead and courts everywhere are supporting this basic human right of equality. The President and so many respected leaders are with us and polls throughout the country show an incessantly increasing majority espouse equal marriage. And most importantly, more and more LGBT couples are enjoying the joy and respect that a legal marriage brings to a committed couple. Despite our progress more remains to be accomplished until all men and women have the legal ability to marry the person he or she loves.
This journey has been powerful for our family as we have witnessed first hand the pride and the confidence that comes with equality. In fact we just returned from a week in Europe with our son and his partner. We saw and rejoiced in the love they feel for each other-and which we feel for them as a couple. There are many, many heroes that have led this effort and gotten us to where we are today. The HRC in Massachusetts led the way and if we were able to play a small role in the realization of equality, well that makes us very, very proud.
Thank you to the plaintiffs, GLAD attorneys, and MassEquality's coalition of 17 organizations that helped to make Massachusetts marriage a reality.

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a protein of interest due to its involvement in equine pathologies. Until now, results in equine diagnostic research were achieved through extracellular MPO detection. However, studying the cellular MPO content in neutrophils has revealed important insights in human diseases. This study aimed to develop a technique for the specific detection of MPO on the single cell level defining a flow cytometric protocol for the detection of both equine surface-bound and cellular MPO. Both indirect and direct labeling techniques are described which include the comparison of two secondary antibodies and two linking-fluorochromes, respectively.

The endothelium plays an active role in ischemia/reperfusion injuries. Herein, we report the effect of a single or successive cycles of anoxia/reoxygenation (A/R) on the mitochondrial respiratory function of equine endothelial cells (cultured from carotids) monitored by high resolution oxymetry, and on their production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS were measured by electron paramagnetic resonance (ESR) using POBN and DMPO spin traps, and by gas chromatography (GC) of ethylene released by ROS-induced alpha-keto-gamma-(methylthio)butyric acid (KMB) oxidation. The oxygen consumption significantly decreased with the number of A/R cycles, and POBN-ESR spectra were specific of adducts formed in the cells from superoxide anion. After a one-hour A/R cycle, high intensity DMPO-ESR spectra were observed and assigned to superoxide anion trapping; the GC results confirmed an important production of ROS compared to normoxic cells. These results show that A/R induces mitochondrial alterations in endothelial cells, and strongly stimulates their oxidative activity as demonstrated by ESR and GC methods.

Despite ongoing research and a widening range of treatment options, laminitis remains a severely damaging condition with poorly understood pathophysiology. Results obtained from cytokine regulation studies during the last decade have highlighted the inflammatory nature of laminitis. This review will describe the role of systemic activation and local infiltration of neutrophils in laminar tissues in the induction of laminitis. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of neutrophil activation in subsequent vascular dysfunction and oxidative and proteolysis imbalances that are pathways previously implicated in laminitis. Neutrophils, by the way of their interdependent relationship with endothelial cells and keratinocytes, dramatically increase the inflammatory response culminating in the failure of the laminar dermal-epidermal interface.

The measurement of biomarkers that reflect cartilage breakdown is a powerful tool for investigating joint damage caused by disease or injury. Particularly in cases of osteochondrosis, synovial concentrations of these biomarkers may reveal the presence of osteoarthritic changes. Coll2-1, Coll2-1 NO2 and myeloperoxidase have recently been introduced in equine osteoarticular research but comparison between the concentrations of these markers in OCD affected and healthy joints has not been made. Therefore, this study aimed at reporting the synovial concentrations of these biomarkers in joints affected with osteochondral fragments in the tarsocrural joint compared to unaffected joints. Myeloperoxidase and Coll2-1NO2 revealed to have similar levels between affected joints and controls. However, in contrast to previous studies using C2C the present study demonstrated that synovial levels of Coll2-1 were significantly elevated in tarsocrural joints affected with osteochondrosis. Thus, Coll2-1 may be an earlier marker of cartilage degeneration than other cartilage degradation markers that have been previously used in equine medicine.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the levels of plasmatic and synovial Coll2-1, Coll2-1NO(2) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in horses with osteochondral lesions of the tarsocrural joint and to investigate how these levels relate to arthroscopic findings of inflammation and degeneration. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Venous blood and synovial fluid samples were collected from 63 horses presented for arthroscopic removal of osteochondral fragments in the tarsocrural joint. Prior to removal of the osteochondral fragment, an exploration of the joint was performed and an inflammatory and degenerative score was determined. The blood and synovial levels of Coll2-1, Coll2-1NO(2) and MPO were also measured. The effects of the arthroscopic evaluation (inflammatory and degenerative classes) on the blood and synovial markers were evaluated using a linear model (GLM procedure), and correlations between biochemical markers in the blood and synovial fluid and the arthroscopic evaluation (inflammatory and degenerative classes) were established (Pearson's correlations). RESULTS: Significantly higher levels of Coll2-1 were detected in synovial fluid of higher degenerative classes. There was a significant correlation between the degenerative score and the synovial levels of Coll2-1 (r=0.27). According to the logistic regression model, there was a significant effect of the degenerative class on synovial levels of Coll2-1. CONCLUSIONS: Coll2-1 correlates well with the degenerative state of tarsocrural joints as evaluated by arthroscopy. This marker can therefore be classified as a burden-of-disease marker in the assessment of joint disease in horses. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 23 (8 ULg)

Recent evidence shows hydro-alcoholic solutions are more efficient than traditional medicinated soaps in the presurgical hand antisepsis of human surgeons. However, little veterinary literature is available on the subject. The aims of this study were to compare the efficiency of medicinated soaps and a hydro-alcoholic solution prior to surgery using an in use testing method in a veterinary setting. A preliminary trial was performed that compared the mean Log10 number of bacterial colony forming units (CFU) and the reduction factors (RF) between 2 five-minute hand-scrubbing sessions using different soaps (povidone iodine (PVP) and chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX)) and the 1.5-min application of a hydro-alcoholic rub (Sterillium). A clinical in use trial comparing mean log10 number of bacterial CFU's and RF for Sterillium and CHX soap was performed in a surgical set-up. Sampling was performed using finger printing on agar plates. Sterillium and CHX had a similar immediate effect, although the sustained effect was significantly better for Sterillium. PVP showed a significantly lower immediate and sustained effect. Sterillium showed good efficiency in the clinical trial. This study shows that, as previously reported for human medicine, Sterillium can safely be considered as an attractive alternative method for surgical hand antisepsis in a veterinary surgical setting.

Flavonoids are polyphenolic secondary metabolites from plants that possess a common phenylbenzopyrone structure (C6-C3-C6). Depending upon variations in their heterocyclic C-ring, flavonoids are categorised into one of the following groups: flavones, flavonols, flavanones, flavanols, anthocyanidins, isoflavones or chalcones. Flavonols include, among others, the molecules quercetin, myricetin and kaempferol. The anticancer activity of flavonols was first attributed to their electron-donating ability, which comes from the presence of phenolic hydroxyl groups. However, an emerging view is that flavonoids, including quercetin, may also exert modulatory actions in cells by acting through the protein kinase and lipid kinase signalling pathways. Data from the current study showed that 2 μM quercetin, a low concentration that represents less than 10% of its IC50 growth inhibitory concentration as calculated from the average of eight distinct cancer cell lines, decreased the activity of 16 kinases by more than 80%, including ABL1, Aurora-A, -B, -C, CLK1, FLT3, JAK3, MET, NEK4, NEK9, PAK3, PIM1, RET, FGF-R2, PDGF-R· and -Rß. Many of these kinases are involved in the control of mitotic processes. Quantitative video microscopy analyses revealed that quercetin displayed strong anti-mitotic activity, leading to cell death. In conclusion, quercetin partly exerts its anticancer activity through the inhibition of the activity of a large set of kinases. Quercetin could be an interesting chemical scaffold from which to generate novel derivatives possessing various types of antikinase activities. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 43 (1 ULg)

Despite improvement of techniques, semen of 20% of stallions remains unfreezable. Recent studies focused on impact of reactive oxygen species and oxidant enzymes on semen characteristics. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a pro-oxidant enzyme contained in and released by neutrophils during degranulation or after cell lysis. It is responsible for the formation of hypochlorous acid, a strong oxidant agent which could damage spermatozoa. The aim of this study was to determine the relation between MPO concentration and characteristics of frozen semen from stallions. Thirty five straws from different stallions were analyzed. Post-thawing spermatozoal concentration, progressive and total motility were determined by CASA. Freezability was determined according to post-thawing progressive motility (over or under 15%). Percent of alive spermatozoa and abnormal forms were determined after Eosin-Nigrosin and Diff-Quick® staining respectively. Post-thawing MPO concentration was measured by ELISA. Our study shows that frozen thawed semen contains large amounts of free MPO. We also observed that post-thawing MPO ELISA assay can be used as an indicator of equine semen freezability. High MPO concentration samples showed lower total and progressive motility. A higher proportion of abnormal head shape associated with acrosome reaction was observed in our late examinations of the high concentration MPO group. Our results show that MPO adversely affects total and progressive motility of equine semen. A negative correlation between normal motile forms and MPO concentration was also observed. The effect of MPO on dead or abnormal forms remains to be precised. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 133 (53 ULg)

Introduction: To calculate flexor tendon forces on the basis of inverse dynamic analysis, flexor tendon moment arms need to be determinated in the equine distal forelimb. Moment arm of deep digital flexor tendon (dDDF) and of superficial digital flexor tendon (dSDF) have been recognised to vary during the fetlock joint dorsiflexion, however little distal forelimb model has taken into account dSDF and dDDF variations. This study describes a method to determinate the relationship between the fetlock joint dorsiflexion and the flexor moment arms variations. Methods: Eleven forelimbs of eleven horses (~500 Kg) were collected, transversally cut below the shoulder joint, frozen and cut into a sagittal plane until above the fetlock joint. Considering the forelimb pulley model (Meershoek et al. AJVR 2001; 62 1585-1593), in the segment based coordinate system, for the fetlock joint the pulley centers of the DDF and SDF tendons were determined directly from the section. For the fetlock radius-pulley experiments, forelimbs were thawed overnight, fixed to an immobilizing support and attached to a hoist that dorsiflexed the fetlock joint. For the fetlock dorsal angle (θ) 180° to 150°, the dDDF and the dSDF were measured directly from the section. For each tendon all of these data were fitted using a polynomial regression model (OriginPro8) and the relationships between θ and the radius pulley variation (∆d) was described assuming that ∆d was zero at θ equal to 180°. Results : When the fetlock dorsiflexion increased, dDDF and dSDF decreased (∆dDDF(150)= -6.1 mm; ∆dSDF(150)= -5.2 mm) according to the following equations: ∆dDDF(θ)= -0.24923 x θ1 + 0.00139 x θ² (R²=0.89867) ; ∆dSDF(θ)= -0.21494 x θ1 + 0.0012 x θ² (R²=0.91504). Conclusions : A distal forelimb pulley model with variable dDDF and dSDF has been performed. It could become an important tool for use in inverse dynamic procedures.

Introduction: Despite the fact that presurgical antiseptic hand treatment of surgical staff has since become a worldwide accepted procedure, surgical site infection is still one of the most frequent types of nosocomial infections. Many products have been used for hand antisepsis, but the popularity of alcoholic rubs amongst human surgeons is increasing as they have shown to provide a rapid and immediate action, are considerably faster than disinfecting soap scrubs and cause less skin damage after repeated use. The purpose of this study was 1) to identify surgical hand antisepsis habits amongst veterinary surgery specialists in Europe (ECVS) and the United States (ACVS), 2) to compare povidone iodine and chlorhexidine gluconate scrubs with a hydro-alcoholic rub hand antisepsis protocol and 3) to evaluate the usefulness of a hydro-alcoholic rub solution in a veterinary surgical setting. Materials and Methods: Emails were sent to 1300 Diplomates to invite them to participate to an online survey in order to obtain an idea about pre-surgical hand disinfection techniques. In a preliminary trial the efficiency of 4% chlorhexidine gluconate, 7.5 % PVP-iodine and an alcoholic solution containing 45% 2-propanol, 30% 1-propanol, 0.2% mecetronium ethylsulphate (Sterillium®) in bacterial reduction on hands was compared. In a clinical trial, the suitability of Sterillium® was assessed in an equine and small animal set up during surgery procedures. Fingertips were pressed on blood agar plates and Gassner plates prior to hand antisepsis (PHA), after handantisepsis (AHA) and three hours after wearing sterile gloves (AG) in the preliminary trial or at the end of surgery (AS) in the clinical trial. Bacterial counts (colony forming units : CFU's) were obtained after 24 h of incubation of the plates. The obtained values of CFU from PHA, AHA, AG and AS were expressed as log10 values. For each sample, a reduction factor (RF) was obtained from the difference of log10 pre-value and log10 post-value. An ANOVA comparison between the effects of the different antisepsis protocols on the mean log10 CFU values and RF's in function of the different steps was established. Results: A 42.6% response rate was obtained for the survey. Most surgeons' still use a disinfecting soap only (79.9%) for hand antisepsis prior to surgery, the majority based on chlorhexidine gluconate (81.4%). Significant differences were found between immediate and sustained activities of the different products tested. Sterillium® was shown to have significantly lower LSM log10 CFU at AG compared to both other products. At AHA, povidone iodine revealed to have significantly higher LSM log10 CFU than Sterillium® and chlorhexidine gluconate, with the last two products having comparable activities. Reduction factors for the Sterillium® were significantly greater than for the other products. Only RF1 was comparable between Sterillium® and chlorhexidine gluconate. In the clinical trial, no significant differences were found between surgeons regarding LSM log10 CFU after hand antisepsis, neither between RF from samples taken at the small animal versus the equine surgery theatre. Discussion: This study confirms that Sterillium® is more effective in reducing bacterial counts on hands prior to surgery in a veterinary setting as are chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) and povidone iodine soap. Moreover, they provide better tolerance and compliance to surgical hygiene protocols. Despite this, veterinary surgeons from all over the world still prefer the use of CHX soap, which has far more disadvantages than commonly accepted. Apart from the better skin tolerance and the absence of known resitance to the product, the use of Sterillium® offers the advantage of a fast (1.5 minute) surgical handantisepsis. This study shows that, as previously reported for human medicine, Sterillium® can safely be used in a veterinary surgical setting. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 176 (5 ULg)

Old Marble - how to clean?
I am planning on installing the marble wall pieces below into cut outs in my dining room wall. I believe they are marble. I have tried to gently brush them clean with light sand paper but they still are yellowed and stained. Is there any way to clean and brighten them up?
Thanks so much.
No sand paper!!!!!!!
Try dish soap and a tooth brush....and by dish soap I mean Palmolive....not Cascade.
They look like they might be a different stone...perhaps sandstone.
The yellow is part of the stone....get the dirt off and then just accept the color.....they are very lovely....worth painting to enhance their natural color.
Linda C
Oxalic acid is used in the polishing and finishing of marble. Admittedly, if used improperly it will do damage, if used correctly they will be, as I stated, as white as they can possibly be.
Hint: don't soak overnight. Hint #2: apply sparingly and as soon as it is clean, rinse thoroughly.
The only reason I'm suggesting oxalic acid is because from the photo, it's clear that the grills do not have a highly-polished finish to begin with. It would not be appropriate to use acid on polished marble. You would have to use a peroxide treatment, but that only affects organic staining, and is ineffective on rust.
Oxalic acid powder is used in obtaining a high polish on marble surfaces. It's used as a polishing agent. I think it dissolves a small amount of the surface and allows the abrasive to bring up the surface to a high polish.
By using Oxalic acid...or any acid to clean these you are risking making the carvings less crisp.
I suggest asking a museum that deals with cleaning marble sculpture.
They look like limestone grills used in India or the mid-East, and those tend to be on the yellowish side. It's not dirt, it's the natural color of the stone.
I'd figure out a color scheme to use them "as is" if mild soap and water didn't clean them enough.
What lazygardens said. Contempory sandstone lattices imported from India.
Here is a link that might be useful: sandstone lattice importer
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed mostly of fossil bugs and shells....while sandstone is a sedimantary rock composed mostly of quartz bits.
Put a little vinegar on a corner and see if it bubbles.....that would be limestone.
most likely they are sandstone...because sandstone can be harder, stronger and last longer than limestone.....but then you have The Alhambra....which has, If I remember correctly lots and lots of stone "lace" made from marble...

Aloe shelf life

Aloe shelf life
August 2, 2010#1
Does anyone know the best way to store aloe. I have a HUGE leaf and my inclination is to scrape out the insides and store it in a glass jar in the fridge, but it's also seems to be holing up on the counter in it's skin. I won't buy one so big the next time, but just wondering how best to make it last.

Recieved my order from four Winds Citrus today!
So today my package ariived from Four Winds. I was surprised at how they were pakacaged. They used 3 individual card board tubes. 1 for each tree.
Okay my 'Variegated Pink Lemon' is over a foot tall with 2 or 3 long branches. In another month or 2 I will cut these back to encourage good branching. I had read that this variety can grow tall and lanky. Pruning regularly is encouraged. The root ball can be seen thru the drainage holes of the long skinny pot. The pot is probobly a foot long and then 3 in. wide at the top.
My 'Page' mandarin is about 10 in. tall. Also same sized pot, but this tree is loaded with flower buds, and new branch and leaf growth.
My 'Kishu' is t he only tree I am concerned about. It's about 8in tall, and it also is loaded with flower buds. Actually probobly more than the 'Page'. These flowers are in clustes like my grapefruit tree. IT also has a lot of new branch and stem growth.
I noticed when I was removing the moistened bark that the trunk has a yellowish band around the trunk. That concerns me. I don't know what would cause this, and I hope that it dissapears on its own.
I did email Carrie at Four Winds to let her know about my 'Kishu'. Besides that I am very excited about these little trees. I can see the potential that they all have to grow and become very nice fruitfull trees. I know that they will give me years and years of enjoyment!
I've always been impressed with their packaging. Yellow band? Possibly prolonged moisture from the bark and bleaching from lack of light to that area. Maybe planted a little too deep. I noticed mine the other day were quite moist and that the shaved bark was like a sponge. Both have so far weathered the transplant without any noticeable distress. In fact the limbs on the oro are sprouting new leaves. Good luck!
Yes, it will be just fine Andrew!
They sent one like that on my Calamondin and it went away.
Good for you! How did I miss this thread? I am so happy for you Andrew. I can't believe that your plants are in bloom like that. Lucky you and enjoy buddy!
Pics please..I know, I know..lol
