Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: Citrus Breeding
« on: April 13, 2024, 01:09:27 PM »
Wide petiole at that also. If it maintains that petiole throughout it's probably some ichang lemon, or yuzu, some sort of papeda.
Always exciting to grow from seed and watch it turn out.

all of woodlanders citrus is seedling unfortunately. so with some varieties hardiness may be altered due to variation, especially ichang papeda.

« on: April 09, 2024, 11:22:26 PM »I've seen that number for Marumi, but man it seems too good to be true. Have you grown it yourself and had that kind of hardiness?I can't prove it's hardiness for itself, but I purchased it recently and will find out if its true or not. But what I've seen appears to be convincing.

Try Marumi kumquat. 10F

Maybe the silica gel that’s used in shoeboxes? those can be bought online as ‘silica gel packets’.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Moving to Panama
« on: March 08, 2024, 04:41:47 AM »
I assume I am a bit late, but from what I've gathered, importing plant material can be quite a process due to strict regulations aimed at protecting local agriculture and ecosystems. It's definitely worth looking into Panama's specific requirements on importing fruit plants to ensure you comply with all regulations.
As for growing Durian, Panama's tropical climate might be suitable, but it's essential to check local agricultural zones and possibly connect with local growers for the best advice.
When it came to actually moving, I had a good experience using Three Movers. They were super helpful in sorting out the logistics, which could be especially tricky if you're thinking about bringing plant material along. Definitely worth checking out for a smoother move to Panama.

Keep an eye out at woodlanders nursery. They’ve sold MIC in the past and also SanCitChang previously. You could contact them if it’s not on site if they have plans on propagating them in the future.

Glauca x Poncirus doesn't exist to my knowledge. Only hybrid I know that is like that is Citrangeremo (citrange and glauca cross).
