Looks good.

I made a Cintrangequat pie and it was quite yummy.

You need to get them bigger.  Especially the citrumello should survive zone 7 temps.

The Citrumelo was quite large. And it did survive Zone 7 temps- normal Zone 7 temps. The last two winters have been anything but normal. No Citrus is going to survive temps like the last two winters, particularly 2014-2015.

Jack, thanks for your input. What varieties did you have and did you do any winter protection ? Welcome to the citrus portion of the tropical fruit forum. Great to have you here ! Tom

A Citrumelo, a Thomasville, and an Ichang. No protection. They all did very well at first and the Thomasville and Ichang both fruited. The last two Winters here have been abnormally brutal and that decimated them.

I am trying one more Ichang, this time flush against the south-facing wall and probably with protection.

Otherwise I will have to be happy with my Flying Dragon, which is flourishing and is the talk of the neighborhood.

I have tried 3 different cold hardy citrus trees in south-facing locations here in Zone 7A. All flourished at first and then came the last two years' polar vortexes. Morto.

Without protection, sooner or later they will go down.
