"It seems suspect to me."  yes, it might be...

at least the pictures seem to be real, google finds no copies of these pictures elsewhere, only on this site

quite pricey and in China, but maybe it's of interest to someone

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: Citrangequat US 10-3-4

It looks exactly like a 4 season citrangequat that I have. Some information about its hardiness would be helpful.

Citrus Buy, Sell, & Trade / Re: Wanted: Citrus reticulata 'Jiouyuezao'

Unfortunately, the seller regularly changes the address of the website... The link is from 2018 :) I think I found the successor pages again via Google.
We'll probably have to go to France for Jiouyuezao :)

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: Nippon Orangequat - cold hardiness

Citrina plants sells the usual varieties under their own names. On the label, on the plant itself, the real variety name is written in small print (which you have to give them credit for, because many sellers don't do this).

You can also find out the real variety on the website (I think). I bought a Limequat from them in the shop, it also had their brand name on the label, but also the real variety name in small print next to it. That`s why I purchased it.

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: Citremon hardiness

The variety I discovered (named "Picone Citremon" from a friend of mine, as that is my last name) is very hardy for me in the Pac NW (where I started it). It has proven hardy to 10F (defoliation) for me (grafted on PT) with around 4 days of below freezing temps last winter (one of our once in a while Polar fronts we can receive), but has also survived freezing when a seedling in a pot outside (If I recall correctly, the soil may have frozen). The original plant has survived freezes over the years on it's own roots (including last year's polar freeze). It appears to be a pretty tough plant.

The other great quality it has is it's tolerance for cool, wet, damp winters. Most citrus don't like those conditions all that well, but my Citremon seems to do fine in it (maybe yellowing leaves some). It is a very promising variety. It is a chance seedling from a store bought Meyer Lemon that had trifoliate leaves, so I knew it was a cold hardy hybrid (I have been into cold hardy citrus for 30 or so years) and also would be considered a complex hybrid (so maybe not technically a "citremon", but that is what I am calling it, since I don't know it's exact heritage). I discovered it in 2012 and is the only survivor from the seeds I planted from the fruit. My guess is it would be cold hardy to 7b and with best chances, if grafted on PT or flying dragon.

That sounds very good!
Do you have pictures?

Temperate Fruit Buy, Sell, & Trade / Re: Wanted: Temperate Eriobotrya species - East Asia
« on: July 01, 2024, 11:28:19 AM »
Hi Gaelle, why do you think that? It would be nice to get some other species, but these are very rare to find, even in botanical gardens most are unknown. only Kew has some other species.

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: The eremo- hybrids, which ones are worth it?
« on: June 24, 2024, 02:58:42 PM »
I can only speak for myself, but Eremo hybrids do not flower in my climate. At least in temperate and cool climates, they seem rather unsuitable.

How old are these seedlings? Do you suspect them to survive?
I am wondering if I can test my Cocktail seedlings this winter...

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: Using kumquat for hardy hybrids (e.g. Ichangquat)
« on: June 18, 2024, 09:19:43 AM »
I remembered it wrong. Sorry!  Ilya wrote that it has few seeds and is often seedless, but the seedlings are all different.

N1Tri is most likely not a direct I P x Poncirus hybrid, but rather an I P x (Citrus xPoncirus) hybrid.
I think Ichangquat 672 is highly nucellar. I think Ilya wrote that once.

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: Long term cold hardy citrus breeding project
« on: June 17, 2024, 05:42:47 AM »
Unfortunately, this is only a hypothetical possibility.
In addition to the phytosanitary certificates, an import permit is required to import citrus material. And this is not granted.
I have corresponded with various officials and have also been told by the citrus institutes that an exchange between them is virtually impossible.

(The mention of import conditions is probably only included in the regulation for formal legal reasons. An absolute ban without exceptions is legally more difficult to justify than a conditional ban, but in practice it has the same effect as an absolute ban).

Unfortunately, the import of any citrus material is prohibited. There is no import permit for citrus seeds. Only commercial fruit may be imported.

I used both as pollen parent. I didn`t noticed any incompatibilities.

This is how they came to Europe

You will probably only find them through collectors. You can try https://citrusgrowersv2.proboards.com/.
If you are looking for a plant, you can find it in the nurseries

Hi Jim,

I just asked the translator again. The correct english noun is potassium silicate.

the advantage of silicate solution is that the wood is virtually petrified, it becomes permanently solid, construction timber also becomes so hard again that it can be processed with machines, just like fresh wood.

I use this method to restore weathered window frames that would otherwise have to be replaced. The advantage for plants is that the damaged area can be overgrown again without leaving rotten areas inside

Just a side note, such bark bursts can be treated with silicate solution, the silicate kills fungi and hardens soft tissue. Making it harder for pathogens to penetrate .
Repeated applications and a thorough soaking of the soft tissue are absolutely necessary, especially if there are already rotten parts of the wood.

Silicate solution can also be used to make rotten wood in buildings strong and stable again.

US119 wurde in den USA in der Zucht benutzt, es gibt mindestens eine kommerzielle Sorte die von US119 abstammt.
https://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=46394.0
für mich besteht der Wert von US119 fast nur in der Zucht, vor allem für eine Rückkreuzung mit Poncirus. Leider weigern sich meine Pflanzen  seit Jahren zu blühen.

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Early bloom?
« on: June 13, 2024, 10:38:03 AM »
I have one such seedling that began to bear fruit in the 3rd season. Others have never flowered since then.
It is worth experimenting, rapid growth is helpful in any case
