Do not confuse with Kishu mikan of Chinese origin.

There is no Kishu-mikan of Chinese origin. Kishu varieties are Japanese. China has its own varieties belonging to the same species Citrus kinokuni (according to the classification of Tanaka). The most famous is the ancient variety Nanfengmiju. There are also varieties of Donghuamiju, Huanglingmiao, Yuanyangju and probably others that I don't know about. Japanese varieties of Kishu are descended from Chinese varieties.

Has anyone sowed the seeds of Cocktail Grapefruit? How many seedlings do they produce, one at a time or several?

Where do you buy the "silica gel stones" ?

In the above video and in another video from the same channel, they try Shiva-mikan mandarin. It is orange in color and is described as delicious as a Mediterranean mandarin. They have it withstands frosts less than satsuma.
On the other hand, according to the description from Soviet sources, it is a small yellow mandarin with a mediocre taste, which is hardly than satsuma. Zorin used it for crossing with satsuma to get a more hardy variety.
Do you think it could be the wrong variety?

Hello, eggeto!
If the plant is grown in ADAVO, then the rootstock is probably citrumelo. If the nursery is Oscar Tintori, then the rootstock may be "Volkameriana". In the "Citrina" nursery, FD is usually used. But this is all not accurate. Can you take a picture of the trunk of the plant together with the transition of the rootstock into the graft? Did the plant have a tag?
Happy New Year to all!

Hi, Zagara!
At first I wanted to object, to say that Sebastian "Alias" did it. But then I watched the video and realized that it was about Sebastian and Bernard. Thanks for the video, it's very interesting.

When the juice was diluted and sweetened ...

Is the taste completely sour or is sweetness present?
