Anyone have any info or personal experience with this one? All I know is that it was one of a group of chinese citrus that are supposedly cold hardy.

I have China 2 and China 9. They are Satsumas so my guess would be they are as hardy as any Satsuma. The 2 has fruited for 2 years now and it is a large, tasty fruit.

I have a few S9's that are on trifoliate, they are 2 yrs old, vigorous growers, and they came through 14 degrees, with no protection, on jan 7, it never got above freezing that day, they lost 75% of their leaves, but are now blooming and leafing out. Can't say anything about the quality or taste as I have picked the fruit off last year after blooming.
