Citrus > Cold Hardy Citrus

Clemyuz 3-3, ten degree tangerine

maesy:
Is anybody growing a clemyuz 3-3?

How are your experiences in terms of cold hardiness and fruit qualitiy?

SoCal2warm:
It's a lot less vigorous growing than it's parent yuzu. I had a small plant inside a greenhouse, and we had an extremely mild Winter, and the leaves still got trashed. I mean they looked really bad, even though most of them did not fall off. That's not necessarily an indication of its cold hardiness though. I noticed some cold hardy citrus varieties are quick to drop leaves at the slightest bit of cold, and it's probably a protection strategy, to go into dormancy to avoid possible damage if temperatures get colder later.

maesy:
It's said to be very hardy, but with being 50% yuzu and 50% clementine
is that hard to belive.

Ilya11:
Very slow growing plant, dead after -9C this winter.

maesy:
Mine was planted out three years ago. Maybe not at the best place. It was very good protected in winter but without any artificial heating.
The result was, that is died back down to two inches above grafting point.

We had probably around -10 c/10f, but with its good protection, I didn't expect that much damage.
