It likely doesn't matter much.. only 5F difference.  You are more likely to have a wider temp variance of microclimates within a zone than 5F anyway.  If you are right on the edge either use containers that you can shelter in a cold spell, or have some backup plan for exceptionally cold nights.  And containerized plants are more susceptable to cold damage than in-ground if you do leave them outside.

The special quality of valencia i have read is that it has two copies of a juice production gene which means it produces far more juice than other varieties.

I have every quat.  Indio mandarinquat is poor, and really nothing like a mandarin.  The skin is thin, dry, and not really sweet.  Inside is sour and has a slight bitter taste like Rangpur lime.   Nippon orangequat is like a bland sweet orange with no noticeable kumquat heritage.  It is large, with puffy skin that is not sweet but just bland

If you want something like mandarin-kumquat the closest you will find a regular old calomondin.  I eat them whole and when they are very ripe they are pretty decent... but still sour. 

If you want a tasty kumquat I highly recommend fukushu/changshou.  Marumi, meiwa, and seedless nagami are great too.

Yup.  I just did this on a cutting I took.  Leaves came shortly after the flower buds were removed

Ive never had chestnuts.  They taste like potato to me

In the rare occasion I foliar feed I use jacks hpf 25-5-15 which has micronutrients.  I can’t tell how effective it is

Probably mine was just stunted.  Nice to see it come alive though. 

leaves!

I want one too, but didn't want to spend $60 on more seedlings than I can use.   Maybe once a few people want them it'll be enough to be worth your time.  Or RiversOFT and I can split 'em.

Sounds like K-Rimes wanted some too (in the other thread)

Thanks.  How does the wampee taste?  Worth growing?

I have more seedlings than I can realistically grow to maturity so once I see what survives I'll consider which are actually worth it for the long term.

Thanks, kumin.   I have seen japanese beetles crawling around on my citrus also but no leaf damage.  I think insects are inspecting them but deciding against eating them because they are foreign.  The deer never touched my citrus either despite eating everything else nearby.

Did you grow from seed?  They look tasty and I already love surinam cherries
