To create satsuma like, cold hardy hybrid, bendizao mandarin looks more promising as mother plant.
It produces seeds without any problem, fruit looks identical to satsuma.

Since there’s somebody processing vanilla in your area you might just sell them the green vanilla. The largest processor in Mexico buys green vanilla from more than 500 small farms.
If, before the vanilla bean begins to ripen on the vine, you wrap a thread around it so it doesn’t split open it can ripen on the plant without any process. This vanilla is of very good quality but lacks the presentation for selling as a whole premium bean although for making an extract and/or kitchen use it is the best.

I read, that vanilla bean has to go trought fermentation before use.
So, according to your experiences it is not necessary process for kitchen use?

Big montana died, after winter, in subtropical greenhouse with minimums aroud +5C, so I gues it is cold sensitive plant.

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: Community Tristeza Virus test results

Resaults only show one thing. Old established cultivars carry some strains and new cultivars from seedlings not. Some mild strains protect plants against severe strains.

Citrus General Discussion / Re: compact lemon options
« on: February 26, 2024, 10:29:19 AM »
I heard about poor quality fruits on volkameriana in the past, and everybody told me it, when I bought Avana apireno from italian nursery on volkameriana. It was in bag, for farm growing, but I was sure that italians know what they do, and time proved my thoughs. Avanas on this tree are in top 3 of my mandarins. So, I think that volkameriana does not devalve fruit taste. As I said Oscar Tintori is number one in the market of ornamental citruses in pots in Italy and they use volkameriana.

I read study about rootstock for ornamental citruses in pot  and the result was, that the best rootstock is volkameriana, especially for lemons. It gaves compact crown and intense flowering. Oscar Tintori nursery uses exclusively volkameriana for lemons and mandarins.

Thanks Radoslav, is the flavor intensity about the same?

Taste of Tarocco is more complex and, taste of Amoa degrades very quickly, so there is short time when taste is very good.

« on: November 30, 2022, 02:00:08 AM »
Diospyros lotus is compatible with all astrigent D.kaki and with  non-astringent D.kaki -JIRO, but generally speaking D.lotus is incompatible with pcna type kaki. The incompatibility can be overcome by using an astringent type kaki as interstock.

Early Sicily looks very nice, congrats! You say it tastes like a very sweet orange. Is there also enough acidity or not?
Yes, it is sweet and acid at the same time.
