Cultivar list

(1/3) > >>

TooFarNorth:
Board seems slow, so I thought I would make a list of the citrus trees I have, and maybe you could tell me which ones I should think about getting rid of or which ones you think I should add. I need cold hardiness and early ripening. I have only tasted a few of these cultivars.

You have a lot of mandarins (I think) that I don't know anything about.  I'd suggest a Nordman Seedless Kumqut if you like kumquats.  Seedlessness is really convenient. 

I have gotten fruit from most of my trees but not all.  Here are the ones I'm keeping for as long as I have space:

Moro blood orange
Tarocco blood orange
Sanguinelli blood orange
Bearss lime
Fukushu kumquat
Nordman seedless Nagami kumquat
Minneola tangelo
Nagami kumquat
Buddhas hand citron
Variegated Pink lemon
Sunquat
Owari satsuma
Marumi kumquat
Red clementine seedling
Xie Shan mandarin
Valentine pummelo
Flame grapefruit
White grapefruit
Kishu mandarin
Vaniglia sanuingo orange
Meiwa kumquat
Green Fingerlime
Red lime
Dekopan mandarin
Tango mandarin
Cara cara orange

And these are the ones that will be the first to go when I need to make room.  Either because I don't like the fruit or I have better alternatives.

Golden nugget mandarin
Tahoe gold mandarin
Key lime
Giant key lime
Limequat
Meyer lemon
Centennial variegated kumquat
Nippon orangequat
Indio mandarinquat
Chandler pummelo
Calomondin
Rangpur lime


I'm actually going to have to pare down to only a dozen in-ground citrus trees over time in my greenhouse, plus a few smaller ones in containers.  Tough choices ahead.

TooFarNorth:
I was thinking of add a Gold Nugget. Why do you have it on your to go list?  Is it flavor, size, or other attributes that you do not want? I thought it was supposed to be highly praised.

TFN of the cultivars shown on your list I would keep:
Cara Cara
Page
Moro
Sugar Belle
New Zealand Lemonade
Bearss Lime
Xie Shan
Dekopon
Owari
Grapefruit (But it would be a white Grapefruit like Marsh seedless)

brian:
It tends to be too sweet and not tart enough, and is sometimes dry and puffy.  I prefer Tango
