Hi Luis,

Nice crop!

Have you tried any of your N30 fruit? Mine were all very sour with no sweetness at all. My plant is young and that might be the explanation but it would be great to know that it's actually capable of producing sweet fruit, as descriptions say.

Hi. Thanks! Yes i did, for some years already. They are acid like a lemon but with some tangerine aroma. They are not sweet at all. You can use it like a lemon.

Interesting brix readings on Sanbokan and Yuzu. My fruits have about the same brix reading, just cut some the other day.

The best tasting of these (Shiikwaasa, Sanbokan, Yuzu) was the Sanbokan. You can eat it like the NZ lemon, not sour at all. I cut open a green fruit and it still had brix=8.8 and tasted like a sweet lemon, similar to the NZ lemons I had.
