This years Citrus Expo, spent the day with Dr. Powell (The man in the video) at Petals From The Past nursery. Dr. Powell had many plates of various citrus set up on a long table for taste testing. After testing all the varieties, you voted for the best of the best. Xie Shan won the contest. - Millet
Awesome, I want one of these. I prefer the very tart varieties and eat nagami kumquats and calomondins fresh so this sounds great. If anybody finds a source please post here... I will do the same.from http://citruphilia.com/?page_id=48:"characteristic, tasty edible skin but an incredibly tart and juicy interior, like an oversized Nagami kumquat on steroids"I had looked into mandarinquats and similar but from what I read they don't taste good.
This site seems to have a sketchy reputation but if they are the only source I might order one from them. I'm going to try to reach out to the only other potential seller I found (http://mckenzie-farms.com) but who knows how often the site is updated they might not actually have any.I'm gonna sleep on it.
To order from Mckenzie you have to call or email him anyway. He will email you back and let you know if he has something. I've ordered from him and he sends good trees in pots.
I ended up ordering the Orangequat from the site you mentioned, I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for digging that up!I also called Harris back today. Same guy but I asked about Xie Shan and he said somebody would call me back tomorrow about it.
