I agree it's certainly true Ichang papeda is an oddity and would not be a recommended variety in zone 9, and maybe even 8b, but it is one of the few things that can grow well outside unprotected in the colder parts of zone 8 in cooler more northerly climates, or possibly even the warmest part of zone 7 in the US South.
That photo is clearly Yuzu...

My IP is vigourous, i use it as a rootstock, good root resistance, tolerates alkaline soils quite well.
I really doubt that is precocious.
California has a special program (CCPP) where you can have budwood mailed there, and they will test it to make sure it doesn't have greening disease and propagate it, and then you can eventually have them send budwood. That might be the safest way. It's not too expensive.

911311, that sentence says a lot about your character.
They are available in the US...
My experience with high crafting is a bit mixed up. I have a Citrumelo, a Citrandarin and Chimera Prague high crafted at 120 cm. The stem of Citrumelo (dm 3cm) was severelydamaged by rind cracks. Cracks were only to be found on Poncirus-stem. Cirumelo parts were completely okay. I think it was exposed to the sun. The other stems were not harmed at all. Citrumelo recovered and bloomed late but plentyful. Last flowes in Dec.
