Yes, they were frozen, but only for a few hours.

tedburn:
Hello Ilya,
how do you go on with your 3 very frost hardy hybrids, do you graft them on a mature plant to get early fruits ?
Have you already done this ?
Sorry for the curiousity, but this is a very interesting project ?
Best regards Frank

tedburn:
How are the frosthardy citrumelo x pomelo crosses, are they already planted in ground to face thecoming winter without protection ?
WhT I noticed with my Bloomsweet and my Newhall orange in pots that the branches lignify very fast compared ro my other citrus varieties - this seems also to indicate a better cold hardiness. Regards Frank

Ilya11:
Frank,
They were in open ground in the South of France this winter.
Three survived of rather harsh conditions with strong Tramontane winds and several nights of -3C that was quite unusual there. I actually lost my Taitian pomelo that was grafted to volkameriana rootstock.
The hybrids are now around 1 meter tall, one of them is completely monofoliate.

tedburn:
Hello Ilya, sorry for your Taitian Pomelo, but the behave of the crosses sounds good and 1m is already a nice size. Interesting to follow the progression  ;). Best regards Frank
