This autumn I am able to compare fruits from four siblings of my 5starXC.Ichangensis cross of 2012 (Ichangstars)
First flowers of 123270:
This plant has the largest leaves , grow upright and is particularly strong.
123252 has been abundantly flowering already to three years,
but only now was able to keep one fruit till maturity.
The plant has a spreading growth and is only partly evergreen, most leaves disappear late December.
Another variety: 123202 had first flower and one fruit last year. Now it is bearing few dozens of fully ripe fruits.
My first hybrid of this series 123260 (Ichangstar60) bear the fruits every season since 2019, I have chosen the largest of its fruits for comparison:
The fruit of 123270 was fully ripe by the middle of October, it dropped to ground today, that of 123252 has still some green taint, the rest are fully colored but still are attached to the branches.
All fruits do not have any poncirus aftertaste nor internal oils, the most aromatic is 123202, followed by 123252 and 123260, they have different fragrance notes. But 123270 has only a very weak scent. Its taste is the best, very juicy soft fruit, almost no bitterness, acid like lemon, 10°Brix, weight 80g.
Fruit of 123202 is also soft and contains a lot of juice, but it is rather bitter and very acidic.
All these plants were in ground since 2012, non protected and never had any winter damage.
