citrus flaviculpus Ougonkan

[Radoslav]

In 2018, I sowed a seeds of ougonkan. In 2020 I grafted twig to the crown of big citrus volkameriana, aprox. 3m above the ground.
First flowers.

Congrats! Love to see people growing citrus from seed and getting to the fruiting stage. Keep us posted on what the fruit looks like.

Best,
Alex

Just germinated some seeds of this. A couple of the seeds have multiple sprouts. For those seeds (with multiple sprouts), I'm assuming that at least one of the sprouts per seed is basically guaranteed to be a nucellar clone.

All the embryos will be nucellar clones, except perhaps one.

Would it be possible to buy one of your citrus flaviculpus Ougonkan plants?

Wow, nice looking fruit, congrats.

The fruits on the Ogonkan seedling are slowly turning yellow.
The skin looks identical to that of the Ogonkan, some fruits may be larger than the standard ogonkan - maximum weight should be around 80g. The fruits form a neck, but this does not necessarily mean that it is a hybrid, I know that unshiu mandarins sometimes form a neck as well.

The seeds you used for your Ogonkan plant, did they come from fruits from Japan?

Yes.

Did you get the fruits themselves or only the seeds? And if you were able to taste the fruits, how did you find the flavor?

Today, I collected some fruits from my Ógonkan seedling. I really like the taste.
Fruits are aprox. 100 g heavy.
Easy to peel, with small neck. Pulp tastes like lemon candy. Strong flaworfull lemon taste with a lot of sugar and some pleasent small sourness. Max. 3 seeds per fruit, most of fruits seedless

Wow nice! How many years from seed to fruiting?

Tree of this seedling looks like ogonkan, but fruits look and taste (lemon scent and lemon flavor, but very sweet) like hime koharu except the skin, which looks like ogonkan ( more bumpy and rough), easy to peel.

[Aix]

Did you make only one seedling, or did you have several but keep only one? And was that seedling polyembryonic?

[Radoslav]

There is a group of seedlings in the ground, I took budwood from one and grafted to crown of volkameriana tree,
but I forgot from which one.
