F2 citrange winter hardiness trial
kumin:
Poncirus showing late season flush being damaged by Winter lows of +2F and strong winds.
Undamaged 026 Segentrange grafted on Poncirus.
Undamaged 006 Segentrange sibling to 026.
There are several Segentrange selections that approach the hardiness of Poncirus quite closely.
Akebia:
Amazing work, thanks for the updates Kumin. I would love to cross these hardy segentranges with my changsha and nagami and select for zone 7 adaptation.
Walt:
Akebia is right. Working for zone 6 hardiness will have spinoffs for zone 7.
kumin:
My immediate plans are to cross the Conestoga Segentranges with Citrandarins containing Changsha parentage. 852 and progeny such as Bishop.
Additionally, to cross 5 Star Citrumelo with all of the above. 5 Star has survived here, but suffers dieback each Winter.
