What a great group of people we have here...we are truly blessed!
A few days ago, I got a PM from Selkirk telling me he had a citrus "gift" for me. Today, a 48LB box appeared at my door filled with a dozen or more varieties of citrus! pages, Cara Cara, kishu, satsuma, Henderson and golden grapefruit, okitsu-wase and fairchild mandarin and several others!
I was floored. As some of you may know, I am growing several of these varieties up here in Minnesota that I have never tasted. That has all changed now!
Thanks Selkirk for the wonderful gift...it is very truly appreciated. you're a heck of a nice guy and a credit to our forum Very Happy .

Funny you should mention it Millet, I was just doing that. I can only taste so many before my palate gets trashed, and I want to savor each variety, so this will take a few days Smile
I must also add, that is is seeming to me that different microclimates radically affect fruit taste/complexity...
There is no blood orange variety here, none in the stores this year either, so I will wait till I come across one to taste..I know some of you are very passionate about the tasle of those bloods!
Having said that...
I was gifted:
Golden Grapefruit-Not tasted yet
Henderson Grapefruit-Not tasted yet
Indo Mandarinquat-Not tasted yet
Changshou Kumquat-Not tasted yet
Meiwa Kumquat-Not tasted yet
Nagami Kumquat-Not tasted yet
Tavares Limequat-Not tasted yet
Meyer Lemon-Not tasted yet
Page Mandarin-everything I hoped for. superbly rich and sweet
Kishu Mandarin-candy...pure candy. perfect for my little kids
Fairchild Mandarin-Not tasted yet
Okitsu-Wase Satsuma-sweet & sassy like a tangerine x'd with clemenule
Cara Cara Navel-WOWEEE!!! Flavor complex and sweet, texture perfect!
Variegated Calamondin-Not tasted yet
Atlas x Koa Mandarin-funny looking rough irregular skin.Sweet and good
Washington Navel-The gold standard. What an awesome fruit. lightly spicy
Bloomsweet grapefruit--Not tasted yet
