Citrus Buy, Sell, & Trade / Re: Finger lime in bloom. Need pollen.
« on: June 15, 2023, 06:04:25 PM »
Walt I would be interested in that idea. I have an ichang papeda and would like to cross it with other sp. like poncirus, and its hybrids.

27
Probably not a hybrid. Citrus australis has a juvenile leaf stage and a mature leaf stage. Over time the leaves will go from conifer shaped to diamond shaped leaves.

28
It’s just a misspelling, nothing too crazy. Different variations of name for the same thing.

30
Both are correct spellings, and the listing is correct. Have ordered from them before and received healthy tall grafted trees.

Wouldn't citrus glauca be better for hybridizing? It goes into dormancy. Tolerates temps below zero fahrenheit. Salt tolerant, drought tolerant, hlb tolerant. It's cold tolerance isn't as high but it's close to poncirus. But the fruit is actually edible. And there are hybrids with oranges and lemons out there. It's also relatively small in size. The only negative is fruits fall off the tree pretty soon after ripening.

Hopefully I'll get some eremoorange and erenolemon seeds. I mainly want disease resistant stuff.

Citrus glauca doesn't tolerate temps below zero Fahrenheit, correct me if I'm wrong I've just heard of it being hardy to just about -10. But I do plan on using microcitrus (inodora and australis) for crossing with zygotic trifoliate hybrids like US 852, or the others mentioned if I can ever source them

Cold Hardy Citrus / Ichang Papeda from seed?
« on: May 16, 2023, 11:01:06 AM »
OK. Ichang papeda is very heterogenous I've heard. I've also heard that even self pollinating it with itself will not be true to type and may show different characteristics like hardiness, fruit size, dry pith vs juicy pith, and leaf petiole size. Specifically with ichang papeda I've seen 2 fruit types: one with dry pith and kind of tear drop shaped, and one which is more globose and is very juicy yet have the same leaf petiole size (double leaf). Also sometimes the leaves may be stiff and pointing up to the sky, while other specimens show even a kind of weeping style, with leaves kind of hanging.

So how does ichang papeda in its natural range even manage to maintain prevalence?

34
I just tossed some Ichangstar60 and N1tri seeds in a pot. So I don't know if its either Ichangstar60 or N1tri, but I'm leaning towards Ichangstar60

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: F2 citrange winter hardiness trial
« on: May 07, 2023, 05:09:29 PM »
Exciting crosses. You should make a website or something and post everything honestly

36
I had some Ichangstar60 seedlings, most of them died but about 3 or 4 are coming back from the roots after 4 days below freezing and a low of 9F.

That sounds good, frost hardiness also should get a little better with age and size.
I have a 2 year grafted ichangstar 60 on PT which gets in ground the bext days. Im very excited how hardy it will be compared to my other in ground citrus hybrids.

Yep. This time I'm going to let them grow out and gain some size so they won't die again back 2 back years and die completely. Excited to see how it compares to other zygotic seedlings in the same pot.

Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: Citrus damage after freeze

So far only 5* citrumelo, taitri, and dragon lime are showing signs of life and are flushing now. Everything else is either dead or major stem dieback, but the wood for the some species is still green. Will be more specific probably in May or Summer so I can see the full extent of damage.

Cold Hardy Citrus / Giant honghe papeda
« on: February 10, 2023, 11:39:11 AM »
Was doing some research a few days ago and came across this album of citrus hongheensis in Yunnan. HUGE trees I've never seen a citrus of that size before. More closely related to kumquats than ichang papeda. Petioles are almost double the size of the leaf.

They grew fine, I just left them outside in the freeze recently (forgot to protect), so hoping to find a positive outcome

How did these grow for you?

Sprout now. Going to take them outside probably next month.

Can't say for sure now until spring or summer, but here is an minor update so far. 9F.

Citrus taiwanica has some stem damage and leaves still attached, looks sad. It's a 1 year old seedling so it might get hardier over time.

TaiTri looks good, just some minor defoliating no stem damage.

5* Citrumelo is the same boat, leaves dropped but no stem damage.

N1Tri x Citrus,  Ichangstar60 x Citrus, Citrus hongheensis x Citrus lost label for them so its F2 of one of these three. Some appear dead visually and all of them are defoliated but some have green stems.

More updates in May for more accuracy regarding if any will resprout.

Some ornamentals like Persea liebmannii are unphased.
