If by low seed Changsha you mean Sweet Frost, it is not available in Europe. At least not officially.

Has anyone grown or tried hanayu?

EMN, 11/23/1988: A small, yellow, seedy fruit; very sour. Somewhat lemon-like in flavor.
It doesn't say anything about hardiness but I assume its hardy like its kabosu n such.
but also interestingly I found a paper that mentions hanayu crosses (along with yuzu & kabosu) having precocious flowering.

found 1 mention of it on the form, enncouragingly compared to lemon as well https://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=31460.msg353093#msg353093
Interesting, the plant is monofoliate? Or is that a random picture from the internet lol
The picture comes from this website https://www.eisenhut.ch/dyn/index.php?id=272791&onlyid=140267 .
I'm always curious why sellers on eBay don't post photos of their fruiting plants that they are collecting seed from?
might be a hoax?
the picture from Eisenhut is a different plant
Florian, when you slice the fruit open it would be nice if you would put a picture of the insides on this thread. Thanks
my experience with C.ichangensis is very difficult to interpret ... But up to now I have not seen any photos of mature pure ichangensis that survived long term in the Northern part of Europe.Just to point out, there is one picture of a C. ichangensis in Germany zone 8a here:

But it does seem to be in the middle of a residential suburban neighborhood, which may be having an effect on temperatures.
My seedlings from ichang papeda fruits have not proven to be as hardy as trifoliate hybrids. I thought that it was supposed to be hardy to 0 degrees according to Tom McClendon’s Hardy Citrus for the Southeast book. I had a really warm winter this year with temps getting above freezing every day and I lost two more three year old seedlings and one suffered minor damage with only being protected by plastic sheeting cover a few nights this winter. I’m done trying to grow papeda here. I have one yuzu but it will be protected like a satsuma here when I plant it in ground. I lost a seedling yuzu years ago when I tried protecting with only frost cloth.
I'm thinking maybe in this northern climate, Ichang papeda fruits do not have time to grow to full size. The region around Portland/Olympia has already entered into the colder rainy season.
Keep in mind the early Fall season here has cooler/colder average temperatures than New England (although the temperatures show more stability with fewer very cold days).
If the fruits have only reached this size by this time in the year, then it is difficult to imagine them being able to grow any bigger.
This is from a big tree that should be fully mature enough.
