Citrus General Discussion / Carvalhal mandarin - anyone growing it?
« on: February 18, 2024, 03:48:58 AM »
I bought a supposed Carvalhal plant, but it has a fairly distinct smell that is not mentioned on any of the online descriptions for Carvalhal, so wondering if anyone can report as to what the crushed leaves on their plant smells like. Also any taste reports and comparisons welcome :)

Citrus General Discussion / Citron/Etrog ID
« on: August 19, 2023, 01:07:59 AM »
Hi folks. Wondering if there's any thoughts on whether this Citron/Etrog is an existing variety or not.

Zest is a bit bitter. Pith/albedo was fairly crunchy, a bit juicy, and sometimes sweet. Only a tiny bit of bitterness. Flesh was sour, but not as much as a true lemon.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Cold tolerant Annonas
« on: December 21, 2022, 03:30:27 PM »
Wondering what would be the top 5 most cold-tolerant Annonas?

1) Annona cherimola
2) ????
3) Annona montana ?
4) ????
5) ????

Bonus points if they are "mountain climate" cold tolerant (i.e. cold & wet) rather than dry cold tolerance. :)

Citrus General Discussion / Pomelo / Grapefruit ID
« on: November 14, 2022, 04:00:42 AM »
Hi folks, wanting to get a better idea of what this might be. It was sold as pomelo, would come from a few decades old tree (not imported fruit), Southern hemisphere. I don't have any photos of the tree sorry.

Zest: Smells just like grapefruit. Extremely bitter, by far the bitterest Citrus part I've ever put in my mouth. Eating a small piece of zest numbs my whole mouth, with some tingling (no I'm not allergic to grapefruit or any other Citrus and eat plenty of Citrus rind, eat tons of marmalade etc)
Pith: Very bitter.
Flesh: Smells like some storebought lemonade drink with a grapefruit hint. Juice/flesh is fairly sour, bitter and not a lot of sweetness. I guess fairly similar to white grapefruit juice.
Seeds: Extremely large, rectangle shape.

Despite all this, I can't get rid of the idea of trying to make marmalade from the whole fruit... it would be immensely potent and probably just pure medicine taste. Madness.
