				| I read about Yuzu and  N1-tri Voß as deciduous hybrids (both listed on Bernhard Voß old Website agrumi-voss).
Are there others?
 Is Yuzu always deciduous?

				| With regards to your second question,  Yuzu seems to be evergreen, or at least semi-evergreen here.  I suspect it depends on the temperatures they experience.  |  |

				| I have most of your deciduous hybrids.
 However this year is not the right one to be asking your question here.
 
 We have had a total of 8hrs of frost this year. All for short periods just before dawn with the lowest temperature being -2.7*c (27*f). Day time temperatures being no lower than 5*c and up to 12*c.
 
 Having said that one variety was quicker into leaf fall than poncirus and is more deciduous and I think another has also gone leafless over time.
 
 I will have a look for you and report which plants are leafless and which have lost few if any leaves. A major caveat may be that we have had a stream of storms that have brought hurricane winds and biblical deluges, both of which will have contributed to defoliation.

				| I just read that a TaiTri can be deciduous, at least the one from eyeckr does.

I just wanted to add this, if someone is interested in this too...  |  |

				| Great memory Mikkel! You're right the TaiTri is totally deciduous for me. It kind of shocked me when I first started growing it when it dropped its leaves. I thought I killed it or something but realized that it just defoliates and goes into deep dormancy for the winter. I need to go out an look at it again when I get home from work but from memory it has cute, lacy, trifoliate leaves and a purplish buds before they bloom. I expect to have a good number of fruit this year.
 My Yuzus are not always deciduous. They usually hold most of their leaves but during extreme winters they will totally defoliate. What I find interesting is that they can not only refoliate the next year but come back and still bloom very well.

				| New Spanish rootstock citrandarins  FA5 and FA13 are decidous. 
Also, sometime ago I got from Roberto budwood of PoncirusXSunki citrandarin. Last autumn its leaves turned yellow, and dropped exactly at the same time as of poncirus.
