Reading an old soviet bulletin from 1939, I came across cultivar called Twentieth Century, imported to Soviet union in 1930.
Description: PCNA, big, round slightly flattened fruit up to 230g, or more. Deep red skin.

Citrus General Discussion / Citrus Ujukitsu

« on: January 19, 2026, 04:31:55 AM »

There is a lot of discussion about ujukitsu,
I do not have Tanaka description, but I doubt, that Ujukitsu is yellow, pearshaped fruit.
Tanaka put it in one group with C.tamurana Hort.ex Tan. and C.luteo-turgida Tan. Which are definetly not pearshaped.
And according to: https://citrusvariety.ucr.edu/crc3467
"Notes from Dr. Bitters' 1963 trip to Japan: Average size fruit height 6.2 cm, wide 6.4 cm, yellow orange rind, globose,..."
Fruit in Riverside collection does not fit to description.

In japan pages Ujukitsu
written:
ウジュキツ
宇樹橘
うじゅきつ
or
ホウライカン Houraikan
looks like small orange:

Citrus General Discussion / Pomelo hybrid from Medici citrus collection

« on: January 01, 2022, 09:15:21 AM »

Finally ripe fruit of C. grandis x C. paradisi called “Piriforme”. Plant I bought from Tintori nursery years ago.
This pomelo hybrid belongs to the Medici citrus collection that was started by Cosimo I between 1554 and 1568 and reached its height under Cosimo III.
The fruit has thick rind that turns yellow when fully ripe. The thick pith is not edible and the flesh tastes like mix of pomelo and grapefruit, its a bit sour, but edible. Mostly for ornamental purpose.

Citrus General Discussion / Honikan mandarin

« on: October 29, 2019, 01:51:58 PM »

In former Yugoslavia nurseries they sold mandarin called Honikan.
Since that time it is in collections.
Adavo nursery in CR also sells it.
http://www.rakytnik.com/index.php/galerie/citrusy/mandarinky/citrus-reticulata-blanco/honikan
According to yugoslavian sources in 1934 japan consul sent 372 trees of unshiu, honikan and natsu mikan as gift to Yugoslavian kingdom.

But I cannot find citrus called honikan in Japan. I would like to find out what is this cultivar about.
