Miklkel,  sorry for the late reply.. Ive been really busy on the farm lately due to the Thanksgiving holliday.. I don't think the fruits are anything special... I guess if you are in a zone 7 and can grow a citrus... you could find uses for this fruit.. as for eating fresh out of hand.. I wouldn't want to  make it a regular part of my diet!

Here are the temperatures for the town of Lake City SC for the first week or so of Jan.  Naturally it was slightly warmer in town than out in rural areas.

I don't have any idea.. IT was a cold week!   You could do some research on temps for Lake City SC for the first week of Jan 18 and that would tell you  the answer.

Cold Hardy Citrus / Amazing Changsha tangerine survived 8F freeze!

This Changsha tangerine is located in an open area in Northeastern South Carolina  where it survived an 8 degree freeze in Jan 18. Looks amazing to have tolerated that kind of brutal freeze!

I would think they would be available most of the day on Friday.. no set time, just drop in. You can email Mark Crawford whose email address is listed in the info.. he could probably tell you the exact times.

I would get a grand total of about 2 trees grafted per day using this method..  Sure looks time consuming and very, very delicate to me!
