For crossing purposes does it behave like a diploidor tetraploid?

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Best lemony scent
« on: August 02, 2023, 07:19:20 AM »Putting a vote in for Rough lemon (possibly it's a sweet rough lemon - aka Australian bush lemon). I've got one here that is much better than every other lemon I've tasted. Far more 'lemony' than a lemon, and without the extreme sourness of true lemons that limits their usage to a small quantity. Can be eaten whole without too much difficulty.
Very interesting. Do you have some pics?

Would love to hear about Santa Teresa compared to Amalfi for jucing as well as for the rind.

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Nordman Seedless Nagami Kumquat
« on: April 05, 2023, 01:16:40 AM »Why would some one chose a Nordman over a Meiwa, Fukushu, or Marumi
I ate Nordmann Seedless the second time and it is not only larger but also sweeter and less sour compared to Nagami.

Why not cross Nordmann Seedless with Meiwa and/or Fukushu?

Wow, that's a huge list. I want to use it as parent for citrus breeding. And yes, I only want to consider the non-bitter and not sour ones.

Do you like it and how is it compared to Kumquat rind? Is the Corsican citron better than Buddha's Hand?

« on: March 15, 2023, 01:55:46 AM »
I would be mainly interested on how good citrons are for eating out of hand as slices or in salads. So is it worth it to buy a special cultivar or are the differences minor?

From what I read Citrus ichangensis was the female parent.

Citrus General Discussion / Calamondin as female parent
« on: February 28, 2023, 03:12:14 AM »
Calamondin is known as being highly nuccelar, but it can form a number of real hybrids for example with Poncirus. Could you all share your progress reports when using Calamondin as female parent?

You are right about pigmentation, but I only want to discuss taste.
