US119 has a unique flavor, citrus, with banana mango overtones.  Easily splits from too much rain. 1/4 poncirus.

Mikkel, Do you still have these plants?  Are they still different looking?

It may be a phosphorus deficiency.  Tomatoes look like that when there is insufficient phosphorus.  In any case use a water soluble fertilizer and spray with trace minerals for citrus.

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: trifoliate orange not growing new foliage or anything

FFP seem to be sensitive to conditions in a pot.  Maybe it applies to standard Poncirus as well. The ones growing in pots have very few leaves while the ones growing in the ground are fine.  Uneven/incomplete  watering or other stressful conditions could be sending  the message, 'Wait for a more favorable  environment before sending out new growth' 
Can you plant your Poncirus in the ground?

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: Valentine and Bloomsweet with too much small fruits ?

They will soon kick off extra fruits.  If there are too many in a month from now, thin them then.

In South Florida, my grapefruit would start to be pickable but still be sour in December, and then continue to sweeten until May or June, when they would fall off the tree.

Danil, what is your climate zone?

It sounds like you are going to grow plants indoors as key lime is very cold sensitive.

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Juice concentrate?
« on: May 05, 2022, 11:55:55 PM »
When possible eat the fruit and not the juice.

Juicing fruit takes away the fiber that slows down absorption of sugars, and thus slows the sugar spike.  Fiber also has nutrients.

Use foam type swabs to transfer pollen. I don't know what type and style of foam is normally used for this application, i.e., polyurethane, polystyrene, silicone, etc.

Citrus General Discussion / Re: How can I tell if my key lime is a mutant or polyploidic?

Polyploid plants often have thicker leaves and more serrated leaf margins

My best guess  either the spray was over applied, sprayed in the heat of the day, or not a low biuret variety

I believe it is not low biuret.  The package did not indicate.  The data sheet said it was low biuret.

Urea from Alpha Chemicals caused extensive burning of leaves.   Defoliation goes from none to complete leaf loss depending on the plant.  There is some minor damage on most trees.

On a sunny day, what is the temperature inside?
Finding that out could eliminate some possible causes to the wilting.

Cold Hardy Citrus / Deciduous citrus developed in Florida
« on: February 08, 2022, 03:20:23 AM »
Selection 1: ‘Sherman’. Early Ripening (October) and cold hardy. The tree is actually deciduous. Fruit is seedy. Flavor is mild, but with solid brix in the 12 range. Ratios range from 14.5-14.8. Not graft compatible with US 942. Its primary drawbacks are thorniness and canker susceptibility. Released and cleaned. Displayed in October.

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Yuzu vs. Meyer
« on: February 01, 2022, 05:41:04 PM »
My Yuzu has very little juice.  Perhaps it is the variety, but they are not comparable for similar uses.  Meyer for lemon juice etc, Yuzu for uses with the skin and for marmalade.

Cold Hardy Citrus / Alternaria and chlorosis

Assuming this is the cause of albino seedlings

Would fungicide help?

Have you been bringing the plant back indoors after every exposure to cold?

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: new thoughts on breeding hardier citrus
« on: January 08, 2022, 11:21:34 PM »
Crossing Satsuma with Poncirus yields a sour fruit. Based on the link above, domesticated Satsumas have less sourness, so would be the preferred choice as the sourness is not coming from both parents.

If these wild species were available, it would be good to try for hardiness.

This is fascinating, how cold has it gotten so far?  Looking forward to seeing how well they make it though the rest of the winter.

A-026 is actually an F-2 seedling of C 35 Citrange, itself a hybrid of Ruby blood orange and Poncirus.

Interesting, Morton, Rusk and Thomasville all have Ruby parentage

That is very encouraging, a hardy deciduous F1 plant with improvement in fruit and only 4 seeds.

Is there enough biuret in urine to be a concern?
