Itīs been some years I visited his garden. I really can`t remember.

I just found out these seedlings came from Little Mulberry Trail Auburn, Georgia.

They are still young. I got them 2 years ago. No idea how old they have been at that time.
I don`t have a mature Poncirus. only seedlings so far. I have a bigger plant in the garden it still refuses to bloom.
Had no luck with precPoncirus and other grafted ones. It seems Poncirus is my biggest quest.

These are Poncirus seedlings from Georgia. The young leaves look different from other seedlings I have. The leave tips are very pointed when young but get rounder when older. Other seedlings I have (mostly from Europe) have also round tips when still young.

Here is one post with a link to a description how to handle it.

it is not the thread I am thinking of, I keep looking.

I wonder if there is a best time for pollination on Citrus. I noticed that stigma isn`t always sticky over the day but I haven`t observed it to precisely to make a decision. Does it depend on day time or the age of the flower?

I would love to be able to help on this project,

That is great! Welcome! I just have some questions I can`t wait to ask

I also made a few hybrids between C. ichangensis and Poncirus trifoliata,

Could you report more about these hybrids? Are fruits more likely to be edible than other Poncirus hybrids?
 

I would also put precocity high on the list; there are some good sources that I would start with. I heard mention of a precocious Poncirus, which is great, but also I would recommend finger limes or desert limes as I know those often flower in a year from seed.

I just have different types of "Microcitrus" seedlings in my greenhouse to find out how precocious they are. Do you know if this trait is herited to further generations?

Below is a picture of a Citrus (Microcitrus) australasica x Poncirus trifoliata hybrid I made at University of Florida.

Have you seen fruits of such hybrids in your work? Are they in tendency inedible like the most of Poncirus hybrids?

one is a mix of Poncirus and Citrus , alternate and first leave small like in Poncirus the 2nd larger and round like in Citrus.
