Dunstan origin is not clear, I read that it was initially found in a abandoned conservatory on the Long Island, some people believe that it is pomeloXPT hybrid.

Citrus General Discussion / Jackson grapefruit
« on: September 04, 2024, 04:00:54 AM »
Here in France at the end of summer we have this South African export.
It is supposed to be a "seedless" mutation of Triumph, itself either a bud sport or a grapefruitXorange hybride.
Still some seeds, very mild, orange like sweet taste (15 Brix), very juicy, no bitterness at all.
I wonder if somebody has a first hand experience in growing it?

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: The eremo- hybrids, which ones are worth it?
« on: September 03, 2024, 09:27:11 AM »
Probably not the winter lows.
Eremorange resists to flower when kept for a winter in the conservatory in Paris region under approximately same conditions as in a South of France ( 42N).
The only difference is in the consistently high summer over there.

Is it exceedingly bitter in taste?
I found that bitterness is strongly dominant in crosses with 5star citrumelo as well as small size of the fruits.

Kumin,
What about the smell of xMeyer leaves? Is it correlated with leaf shape?

Mapo cross failed, no seeds at all .
With XieShan pollen 19 seedlings were produced
After 8°C forced freezing two of them survived and now are planted outside

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: I think I have a hybrid of Ichangquat and 5* Citrumelo
« on: August 13, 2024, 04:40:27 AM »
I germinated up to now several hundreds of seeds of this ichanquat, after rather decent initial growth they either stop to grow and die or become weak willow like plants.
The two plants that I mentioned above are like this, I doubt that they will flower soon.
Can be that this variety has some chromosomal problems, being either triploid or aneuploid with disbalanced genome.

In Italy, at least listed in the nurseries grows also so called CitrusXlimonimedica that is believed to be a cross between citron and lemon

Alexmed95,
Sorry to intervene here, but since your are in Québec, you are aware that in French citron means a lemon. Are you sure that what you bought is not just an Amalfi cost lemon?

I guess if you don't want the fruits the simplest way is to remove flowers.

Thank you, in France most pomelos are from China , they appear on the market in early November.
The white flesh variety is labeled Honey, but sometime there are also deep red fruits.
Rarely in white flesh fruits are large seeds, its seedlings are very sensitive to the frost.
In November 2022 I found a dozen of seeds in the red one and got several seedlings with varying leave shape pattern.
Most of them died after forced artificial freezing at 8°C for 3 hours but one was not damaged at all.
Probably a hybrid with some hardy rootstock

My guess is that in reality it is Tavares limequat.

I had it on macrophilla roots, the taste was close to that of regular oval. It was not resistant in Paris region.
When grafted on clementine in the South of France, the rind become rather thin and overall taste of fruits is closer to limequat.

- My Ichang Papeda IVIA has one fruit, it actually arrived like this from the nursery two weeks ago. Small plant from Agrumi Lenzi.
Usually fruits of IVIA358 are different in shape
Also, its leaves are mostly wrinkled

Violetta flowers are much more purple.
It could be B.Voss hybride N3, that is a sibling of Violetta, but flowers are less pigmented.
Both are hybrids of C.ichangensis clone K X C.medica I had N3 in the past, but lost it after -11C, the fruit has lemon taste and smell.

Most of N1tri seedligs are weak and stop to grow.
