Redland doesn't have any, I've tried about every thing in google search. They are very hardy. There is one at the bamboo farm in Savannah that has taken 13F and is still kicking. They are two at my friends house here in historic Charleston, but they have not set seed yet. I'll find the photos...

They are scattered from Dade city FL up to Jacksonville... I just need to find someone with access to seeds or small plants. Dave Witt used to sell them & was going to get me some, but the trees are in his ex wifes yard he doesn't get along with her...

Been after a couple of these for a few years now...

They are pretty much ripe now. No they are not the same as mandared. The seeds were sent to me as Rubino Clementine.

I gave it to my neighbor as the fruit was pretty much useless... He left it out when he was away one winter & it froze. I still have variegated oranges, satsuma and others but gave Stan most all of my container stuff that doesn't do well in the ground here.

Hey Brian, been a while. It took about 4 years from seed to start fruiting.

With the prolonged cold up there, nothing will survive long-term unless it's a trifoliata hybrid. Like I said, get some photos of the leaves & fruit.

Stan is a good friend of mine. The Croxton grapefruit is just another seed grown ruby red grapefruit. Big difference from a night without sprinklers in Lake City, SC & normal temps in Tenn...

If I remember correctly, don't they use gibberellic acid to pollinate clementines to prevent seeds? I still have my clementine going strong that I got budwood from Joe Real years ago. Excellent fruit quality too.

Almost forgot, anyone that orders seeds... I will throw in some Chamaedorea microspadix seeds. They make great house plants or are hardy to the high teens F if you are in a warm zone.

I agree, but get a lot better fruit set with the bees & humming birds.
