  Does anyone know what temperature is best for ichang papeda growth. Does it prefer high humid?

  One of my friend grafted a branch of Ichang Papeda 1 month ago and the scionwood now is still green and healthy to the look; however, no new shoot yet. I also came to his garden to take pictures of it. He said if the graft was failed, the scionwood should had been dried or turned yellow after 1 to 2 weeks. I just wonder what would be the best temperature and humidity level for ichang papeda growth.

  I wonder if meiwa can be grown in zone 13. I still remember when I was a kid in my country (tropical region), I had never heard of the yellow kumquat fruits neither Nagami or Meiwa but a green round kumquat which has a very thin sour rind and sour pulp. I still remmeber that the pulp is orange and very sour, rind taste between bitter and sweet with spiciness and strong citrus fragrance. I think people picked them green on purpose just to preserve the sourness for a lime substitute.
