Ned Rahn of Port Royal, SC has told me that he will match my 50 dollar offer for anyone from Europe who decides to join us for this years Citrus Expo! That make a total of $250.00 hard cold cash! This should be getting close to the half off ticket price! Any takers on the Citruholics Bribe Game? l

I have a Procimquat tree, and the fruit does produce seeds. However, I have never planted any of the seeds, so can't say if they produce or not. The fruit does not have much taste, but the tree is very ornamental and a great tree for growing in containers. . - Millet (165 BO-)

Sometimes things that are not supposed to happen, do happen. Mysterious Ways !

I'm far from being an expert, but Procimequat sounds fun to hybridize with, and FAST.

Procimequat has been discussed before, please look at this link from 2005.

I really liked to join that party, but just see and nothing take of the treasures would make me to a Citro terrorists who starts the underground fight for the freedom of CITRUS !!!

Bombing the Custom with rotten citrus fruits would be first assault ..

I have read the posts here with interest. I discovered my first Procimequat hybrids 5 or 6 years ago. After finding them, I got to wondering if anyone else had made a similar observation. I searched the internet and found Don's posts, so Don did realize that Procimequats would hybridize with other citrus before I did. Additionally, Don seems to have intentionally made the cross, whereas I just stumbled upon the hybrids in a batch of Procimequat seedlings I was growing to sell. (It would be interesting to know what the result of Don's cross turned out to be.)

The little hybrids actually stand out in a community pot such as I sow the seed in, even the ones without trifoliate leaves. At first I thought I had accidentally got some Trifoliate seed mixed in with the Procimequat seed, but, upon closer observation, they looked like true hybrids. I now have 3 hybrid trees, 2 of which have fruited. Both of those that fruited had fruit that is a lot more edible than Procimequat (even though they are a little seedy). Both have edible peel like the Procimequat mother.

I have tried to be a little more observant this year, and have noticed that the Procimequats bloom when a Poncirus I have (the one that blooms early from seed), blooms. I think that the cross indicating Trifoliate parentage is a Procimequat crossed with the precocious trifoliate (they both bloom at the same time). That is further indicated by the fact that the hybrid bloomed the first (or second) year from seed. The other two could be most anything. They do not show indications of having trifoliate parentage.

Finally, I noticed another hybrid in this year’s Procimequat seedlings a few days ago.

Couldn´t not a genetic analyse bring clearness about that ?

O - great! offering up greenbacks to bring over some Europeans??? Hey allot of our ancestors came from Europe they may be relatives?

I had a great time at the Expo back in 09, Stan IS actually a real person and so is LAAZ If (when) I come down again I will have to order some of Laaz's huge pomellos. Maybe you guys can have a citrus fruit fund and ill bring an extra suitcase

I cut the pumelo down.

where and when is the Expo
Im far from being as knowledgeable as most of you but i am into my citrus and banana's


so um would i be ok to come From oregon ill make ya lunch if stan will tell me how to get one of my trees to fruit i bought from him LOL.

i might need to get into a warmer climate

I think a hothouse would do ... or some hardy sorts like Cumquats.

I have a Procimquat hybrid. However, I don't have the slightest idea about the parentage. My Procimquat was on a bench with a bunch of different types of citrus. The hybrid could be from any one of them. It is now about 18" tall, very full of densely packed small leaves, but so far no flowers. The tree is almost as wide as it is tall. I think Procimquat and Procimquat hybrids really have no value other then a curiosity tree, or some ornamental. - Millet.

this is a harvey orange i got from stan long ago almost 6 yrs now but no blooms.


not sure if i am doing something wrong or ?

I only sell Harvey lemons.. no harvey oranges.. were you talking about a hamlin orange? If you fly in for the Expo, I will show you how to grow citrus! If you are into bananas.. One of the tours features Henry Culbertsons yard in Pawleys Island, SC.. You will think you have arrived in Costa Rica! bananas and citrus everywhere!
