The Tropical Fruit Forum

So Poncirus+ seems to be most promising if one tries to use PT-fruits for consumation. I think of extracting aromas for tonic-water for new recipies.

Florian, Poncirus polyandra is said to be a hybrid, as far as I know.

Adavo has Sudachi? Are you sure? I have been there three weeks ago -no Sudachi. Real Sudachi. Hanayuzu is not Sudachi, that's false.

Obviously there are two differnt kind of PT-flowers. Some paperthin and big diameter and others like the one shown on the picture. But all of them without remarkable fragrance.

"1/16 of poncirus pedigree and not bred for hardiness"

so 1/16 poncirus is for taste 

Thank you, Ilya. Niels Rodin says, 153 is the best (tasting). I will see, if there is much difference. Now I have all of them 

Sebastien is a private Citrus-enthusiast?

Mikke, Ilya says it tastes very interesting.

IVIA says about 235: "El árbol es de tamaño mediano, porte abierto, compacto y prácticamente sin espinas." Without spines! Mine is full of spines! And they write about an elipsoid: el fruto .... tiene forma elipsoidal. The question is what kind of elipsoid?

I suppose it was grafted on PT? Bernhards "super hardy" Ichang was the first to die surrounded by Ichan-seedlings that all survived on their own roots... My C. ichangensis IVIA survived last winter without branch-damages   when even one of my PT died from bark cracks. It lost 50% of its leaves -no problem.

You have to feed the Prague very well if you are eager to get fruits 

Location Vienna/Austria Zone 7b
After a very mild period of tempertures mostly above 0°C we had one week with minimum down to -15° and daytime temperatures below zero. During this week I protected my Citrumelo 5*, Ichangquat and PTXSunki with thick fleece. C. ichangensis IVIA got only some sunprotection and Chimera "Prague" stayed unprotected. Prague does not show any damage. It is now full of flowers. Citrus ichangensis lost 50% of its leaves but  nu further damage. Citrumelo 5* which is high crafted, has heavy cracks on the bark of the rootstock (PT!) and has lost all its leaves. It will lose wood aswell. Ichangquat is nearly dead, but PTXSunki has no damages. It lost all its leaves as it does nearly every year. I was a little bit frustrated because I thought high crafting would prevent frost-cracks on the bark but t oviously does not. Any ideas why not?

SoCal2warm du you have Kunenbo? What about its hardiness? And do they come true from seed?
