Marrs oranges
« on: September 23, 2019, 08:15:14 AM »
Did about 50 grafts to citrus trees last year that were frozen to the ground Jan. 2018.  Here's a cluster of 7 huge Marrs oranges on one graft.  Word is folks from California call this one "Texas Sweet". it's low acid very sweet and juicy fruit that hasn't been sold in local nurseries for a long time. 



Have been juicing, zesting and freezing super fragrant, oily key limes for months.  All citrus froze to the ground Jan. 2018 and is making a huge crop now from original stock and about 50 grafts to 3 trees.



Nothing like a frozen cocktail during this Texas heat.  Ice cubes/juice of fresh blood oranges, key limes; limequat concentrate, Blanco tequila, Bacardi, Triple Sec, agave syrup, water, ice cubes.  Blend, freeze overnight, blend, serve.  Topped off with an Italian Amarena black cherry.

Is Marrs hardy in zone 8? Are you saying you put 50 scions to 3 trees? Your mixed drink looks yummy.
