Citrus General Discussion / ? Summer ripening mandarins

« on: June 25, 2022, 04:28:16 AM »

Hey all, are there any good summer ripening mandarins? I have gold nugget which ripens in late spring and holds well on the tree into summer. I’ve been disappointed with the fruit quality of gold nugget however. It’s, in general, pretty dry. It seems like I’m not the only one who has had this experience. Are there any other mandarins that you can pick in the summer? I would imagine that these would also be fruits that ripen in late spring and can hold on the tree well. Thoughts?

Citrus General Discussion / UCR Budwood: uncommon/rare varieties, suggestions

« on: March 28, 2017, 05:05:25 PM »

Hello all, I was hoping that people could make some recommendations regarding interesting/rare citrus varieties available through the UCR budwood program but not available elsewhere (e.g. Four Winds). A couple of varieties that I would recommend include:

1. Miho satsuma
2. Tahitian pummelo
3. Rotuma island orange
4. Shiranui mandarin
5. Valentine pummelo (although 4 Winds carries this now)

Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Citrus General Discussion / Chironja Grapefruit Hybrid

« on: May 05, 2014, 01:54:37 PM »

Anyone have any experience with this variety? It is a new selection that Four Winds is offering. It seems that it is a Grapefruit-Orange or Pummelo-Orange hybrid from Puerto Rico.
