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.

Hi Joe

Have you ever seen damage on it?

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.
