Hey Garnet, I just PM'd you.
Those Mortons look like maybe a cross of buhda hand(?). I never saw anything like that...thanks for posting pics. Are they good to eat? Not much pulp in them.

The last two weekends I've been over Dr Bob's picking loads of Keraji and other citrus. Just as an update he suggested I post some recent photos of his hardy citrus grove:

Again this year he has a bumper crop of Keraji fruit

Thanks G, good pictures. Last week I saw one of the tawaniaquats in a pot at the nursey that I did not know that I had. I tasted one of the fruit and it wasn't bad at all.

Excellent pics!! Many thanks, G!

This must be the first year for ROT fruit!!? Dr. Bob's been waiting for that one. Amazing-

Interesting to see the tremendous size variation with the Taiwaniquats!

Glad the pictures helped identify the unknown fruit you had Ned. Yes the tiawaniquats are pretty good and have that yuzuquat-marumi-indio mandarinquat kind of taste to them.

Keith I do find the variable sizes of the fruit on that tree very eye catching. Dr Bob was pretty happy to get that crop of Republic of Texas oranges and was gracious to share too. Other recent grafts that I did for him out in the yard that are fruiting are a Croxton Grapefruit, Hamlin orange and Nippon orangequat. We're still waiting on the Bloomsweet, Shekwasha, and some satsumas.

After eyeckr (G) took these pictures, he so graciously took my wife and myself to the Virginia Beach airport. His kindness really helped us out. - Millet
