Forward thanks for the data from the Wunderground. I like looking at that site. My backyard thermometer recorded 5.5 - 6 degrees. I knew it was bad when I found myself repairing busted water pipes at my rental properties this winter.

I am a little surprised that my Sudachi didn't make it. I think it may because of its position in the multigrafted tree that it was on. That sudachi graft lived mostly shaded and always lagged behind because of it. I think if I grafted it out again in a better position it would do fine. My Tiachang was grafted but always showed trouble with dealing with the cold. It seemed to be one of the first ones to defoliate and never really impressed me. I'm debating on if I will be grafting that one out again as I really didn't like the fruit much.

manfromyard sorry about your trees and you being stuck in your car for two days. At least you know you're winter hardy now A lot of my pomegranates died back to the ground too but are starting to come back too. I need to go out and record which varieties took the cold the best without dieback.

Laaz nice picture of the Tanger outlet fountain. While we were there a few weeks ago my kids were tossing pennies into it. Neat to see it iced up like that.

Good to hear that Western Europe and the UK had a mild winter. Maybe ours will be this year. We really need it so that our trees can recover without another hit.

hardyvermont I may have gotten my Dimicelli and Glen leaf pattern mixed up. I looked this afternoon and my Glen is leafing out again and looks to have about at least 30% tri and bifoliate leaves.

MrTexas for better or for worse I did zero protection for my trees . I really did want to see as a test what would make it. My only mistake was not collecting back up wood for varieties I'd like to regraft. I did however protect my in ground avocados the nights we went down into the single digits with a comforter, tarp and light bulb. Out of the six varieties two of them (Fantastic and the other I have to check the tag for the name) died back but the other 4 look very good. Fantastic and the other one are coming back strong though.

Eyeckr, I've read that Citrus latipes may be as hardy as the Ichang papeda but has more flesh. It is described as "Fairly juicy, not bad taste at first, then unpleasant aftertaste" by the Citrus Variety Collection. Unfortunately, I don't know of any sources for it.

Laaz, great pictures! Good to hear you did not lose any trees this winter.

Thank for the Citrus latipes, Khasi Papeda tip Scott. I've read over that one before but never gotten around to seeking that one out. It would definitely be a good one to try out.

In surveying my survivors I totally overlooked the tallest citrus tree I have out back which is my Ten Degree Tangerine. It is the Clem-yuz 2-2 variety which is far and above taste wise than the 3-3. Clem-yuz 3-3 in my opinion has a strong skunky taste to it that I can't seem to get past. This tree was one of the last trees to display cold stress and one of the first to bounce back even though it totally defoliated. It could be because it is very mature, was healthy before the winter came and was on an alternate year and only held a few fruits last fall. Usually trees that bear heavily will be much more susceptible to cold injury. I edited my original post to add the 2-2 to the survivor list.
