Poncyrus trifoliata x mandarin = citrandarin
Ichangensis x mandarin = ichandarin
Poncyrus trifoliata x citrus aurantium = citradia
Poncyrus trifoliata x pomelo = citrumelo
So, ichangensis x citrus aurantium = ? ( “Iradia”, ichantium”, “ichadia”?)

Doesn't really belong here and I'm sorry if I missed it but is there a reason you always spell Poncirus Poncyrus?

I made a jelly/jam only using the poncirus juice and diluted it a bit with orange juice and it turned out great!

I will certainly follow this hybrid's development with great interest! Keep us updated.

I'd still like to know their diameter and I will check some fruit here for comparison. We see late spring freezes too but so far, the Poncirus have not been affected.

How large are they? I can't tell from the picture.

I have had poncirus that turn yellow and others that don't but I never gave it much thought.. My largest FD does show beautiful autmn colours.

Is Mukaku yuzu the same as tada nishiki?

It seems to be different Mukaku yuzu is a yuzu with a genetic abnormality making it seedless.
Tada nishiki is a hybrid of yuzu with seedless small fruits.

Could you please provide a link
 I read many times elsewhere that Tada nishiki is a large fruited seedless Yuzu and  assumed that it is just a variety of Mukaku

Yes, that's what I thought – hence my question.

Florian.  P. trifoliata does OK in Nebraska, zone 5.  I don't know if those are in sheltered locations or anything else about them.

Thanks for the info, Walt. Where I live, temperatures rarely drop below -10/-12C. I was not sure the -20 or even -30C one can read on some pages were really true.

Yes.

Thanks, Laaz. It has not rained much, so I guess birds.

Could also be less cold-tolerant than citrumelo since african shaddock is a pomelo. But who knows until it is tested!

Yes, these were my first fruits and no, I only have one plant but with various vines. There appear to be some (partially) self-fertile strains. Check out the cultivar known among the French as "Loryane" for example (I am yet to find seeds of this one).

The seeds/pulp from the fruits on the ground were yellowish but the thing is that I thought the taste was a bit off.. like they were overripe. That's why I picked one that was still on the vine. And as I said, many were hollow.

I am excited nonetheless. Passion fruit and Switzerland aren't two words that usually go toghether.

I have never tried this cross but I will follow your work with great interest! Thanks for sharing.
