Madison has a Clem x Yuzu aka Ten Degree Tangerine, but they don't say which one. Does anyone know if it's 2-2 or 3-3, or something else?

They were very quick to respond to my inquiry about it, but they don't know which one they have. They said they are pretty sure they got it from the FL certified budwood program, which doesn't specify 2-2 or 3-3, so it's whatever one they have?

I looked up the FL certified budwood program list and I can't find any more info on it, but here's how they list it in case this helps anyone else track it down:

From pictures it seems 3-3 has narrow petioles and 2-2 has wider petioles, but the 2-2 plant from a nursery in France that me and at least one other person got a 2-2 from, seems to have narrow petioles. So not sure what's up with that.

I have heard this from at least two other people as well. They bought a clemyuz 2-2 from a French nursery and they suspected it was actually a 3-3.

3-3 usually sets fruit, but my 2-2 has never bloomed, so it needs more attention apparently.  2-2 is hardier by at least a couple of degrees.  From sampling 2-2 a long time ago, and the 3-3 more recently, 2-2 had more flavor.
