I have Daoxian Wild from Adavo grafted on Citrumelo for about 4 years. It has small fruits 2-3 cm, 10-15g, but they ripen late, When it flowered at the end of April, the fruits were still green in December, I picked them in March fully colored.The skin is not as bumpy as in your picture, the taste is different from normal mandarins, not too sour as I would expect from a wild mandarin and quite good.
As far as I remember, there is confusion with Citrus reticulata "Daoxian wild" and Citrus daoxianensis. Do not confuse them.
Peep, I have a mandarin that has the bumpiest skin I have seen, it is called Gold Nugget. My tree is large, has lots of seedless fruits. This year it is my best tasting citrus fruit for me. I grow many varieties and I can tell you there is no other fruit that has more bumpy skin than this one that is editable. The other fruits that also have some bumpy skin is the Pomderosa lemon and bizzarria.Her's some Gold Nugget from my tree.
The publication itself says Daoxian wild is the common name for Citrus daoxianensis. Is your suspicion that the publication is wrong to think Daoxian wild refers to Citrus daoxianensis? Or that the nurseries selling Daoxian wild are incorrectly using this name?
I remember that there were two species of C. reticulata and C. daoxianensis, and they were both called "Daoxian wild". And this confusion was even in scientific articles. To answer you thoroughly, I will need to find and re-read these articles again. Unfortunately, there is no time at all now, I haven't even visited the forum here for a week... I will try to answer in more detail and with links later.
