Citrus General Discussion / Re: Crispy Honey Kumquat - Lunar New Year

This is a place holder for some neat photos I will post here later tonight, just took them.

I have taken some comparison photos of the following so you can see the size, shape, and in some cases the brix readings I did.
- Crispy Honey, my last 2 fruits
- Nagami kumquat
- Nagami kumquat seedling, has larger fruits
- Nagami kumquat, weird one with mini size fruits
- Seedless Nordmann Nagami kumquat

Could not show the Meiwa, very low fruit productions on my trees and they ripen much earlier. I tried to ask anyone else who grows kumquat but no one had fruits now.

I would also be very interested in comparing yield, storageability and ease of growing.

I looked more into this, and found an article stating that the oil pores on honey crisp are smaller than other kumquats.

Can you share this article?

I have heard NaMeiwa ist a shy bearer. Don't know whether that's the case with Callie.

Many old me that Indio is relatively sour, but you do not share this experience.

Yes, but is it better tasting and more lemony flavor than NZL?

But for seedlessness one parent has to be tetraploid.

Citrus General Discussion / Seedless Kumquats Nagami x Meiwa
« on: October 27, 2024, 04:55:53 AM »
There are three seedless kumquat hybrids. Nameiwa, Nameiwa #1 and Puchimaru, that are derived from a cross between Nagami and Meiwa. How do those compare?

I always thought Calamondin and Calamandrin are synonyms, but they aren't:

Next spring I plan to apply Oryzalin (Surflan AS) to kumquat seedlings. Hopefully I'll be able to get some tetraploid plants.

Kishu is female sterile, so can only be used as pollen donor for crosses.

So, might both varieties from France be the wrong ones?

Citrus General Discussion / Nordmann Seedless triploid?
« on: September 23, 2024, 03:24:40 AM »
I am just wondering why Nordmann Seedless is seedless. It is a seedling of Nagami, has larger leaves and fruit. Could it be that it is triploid?

Citrus General Discussion / Kishu
« on: September 23, 2024, 02:09:55 AM »
Quissac has two kinds of Kishu in stock:

https://www.jardin-ecologique.fr/boutique/toutes-nos-plantes/comestibles/agrumes/mandarines-et-hybrides/citrus-kishu-nooka-fa5-mandarine-chinois/
I asked for the difference and the seedlessness and got the following answer:
Kisho Nooka becomes bigger as a plant.
Both can be seedless if no other citrus nearby.
Now I am confused. I thought Kishu has a female sterility, thus it should not matter other citrus nearby..

Nippon as well as Indio has to hang a very long time on the tree. Then it becomes sweet.

I try to guess. Might it be a triploid hybrid of Fukushu and Meiwa?

But where could we get it from? I am also very interested in this variety. Is there any information how it was crossed?

Citrus General Discussion / Re: Giant kumquat & Nordmann seedless
« on: July 30, 2024, 02:33:27 PM »
Yes, Nordmann Seedless and Kumquat Gigante are identical. In very rare cases Nordmann can have a single seed, but most of them are seedless. In my own experince Nordmann Seedless - although being a seedling from Nagami - is a bit larger than Nagami.
