Oneco Mandarin - 95 % of fruit dry

[nighthawk0911@yahoo.com]

12 years ago I was talked into planting an Oneco mandarin which was supposedly a popular variety around the time of the civil war.  It never got very big and the fruit it has produced has mostly been dry and pithy.  The few fruit it has produced that were good were excellent and had a flavor like "Sunny Delight" or Orange Starburst candy.  Meanwhile the Dancy planted right next to it always has good fruit.  Does anyone else have any experience with Oneco Mandarin and have any advice?  Thanks.

Evidently it is of upmost importance on what rootstock the Oneco mandarin is grafted upon.   Researchgate's trials has shown that Swingle citrumelo and Troyer are rootstocks that Oneco does well.
