Thanks for the update. From your description it sounds like a variety that is definitely worth propagating.

When I experimented with rooting citrumelo cuttings bottom heating made all the difference in success for me.

Tim, it has seen near 0f more than once and between 0 and 10F many times. Minor defoliation on maybe 25% of leaves, but always releafs in spring, on par with citrumelo as far as hardiness I guess.
