The Tropical Fruit Forum

Ilya sent me some Poncirus+ seeds two years ago. There was some variation in the seedlings. And I would say there were also tetraploid seedlings. It is difficult though to count the exact number of zygotic seedlings. Most look too similar. They can be zygotic or not.

Batumi Citrumelo has zygotic seeds at least some at least when the right pollen is used. Batumi Citrumelo has a very good taste. But it is sour.

I have Kabosu from the budwood that I got from Roberto. The leaves are less round and have some suspicious wrinkles.

Hmmm .... really "in some kind of english" :-) :-) :-) :-)  The automatic translation is totally insane.

All are grafted plants.

I do not know. Perhaps full dormancy of plants without interruption. From the beginning of November until the middle of February, the garden is completely sunless. In this period, the sun's rays will not reach even a minute over the surrounding houses.

Occasionally, the flowers look like roses. The appearance of the USA119 is very irregular.

thanks Mikkel, seems I have to regradt some of my Dunstans 😉, because I also see 5* better than Dunstan in taste.

The fruit reached maturity by now.




Good fruity smell without poncirus note, juicy, acid,  bitter like calamondin, a little bit of internal oils sticking to the dents.

Have you ever thought of Ichang Papeda? Is it suitable for your climate zone?
Ichang Papeda grows much better than Poncirus and some flower after 3 years, but not all.
Poncirus grows so unspeakably slowly that I am already wondering whether it is at all suitable for my climate.

Mikkel,

there is quite a lot of variety with PT seedlings. Some are vigorous others not at all. You have to select the vigorous ones.
