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. |

okay. this would explain why it is listed as deciduous when grown in northern germany. |

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. _________________ Best regards,
