As a local, I don't suppose you've any info?? Ever been to the Orto Botanico??

I am on the Catania side of the island. But I have visited the Orto Botanico in Palermo or I should say "tried" to visit it, as it was closed to the public when I tried. Next time in town I will go back and write a report.

I was in Sochi by the black sea in 1991, visited a garden there and I believe there was a citrus tree that had 110 varieties (if memory serves me correctly).

good luck on growing your own

Will you be in the area during the winter months?

Thank you very much. In during the winter months my near relatives will
live in Alushta and look for citrus plants. Usually, I come one or two times on month. Winter freezing temperature is about 10 F, but mean temperature of January is about +3C (37 F).

Why don't you try first the numerous selections that have been made in Sotchi? It would be very interesting to hear about that!

First of all, I enumerated hardy citrus plants, which is not in nurserys of Europe.
Only ClemYuz hybrids 3-3 and Changsha could be found by Bernhard Voss in Germany

http://www.agrumi-voss.de/agrfrost.htm

and in Czech Republic by Zdenek Chernoch:

Secondly, the citrus plants hardy to below 15°F never didnt grow in Russia near of Sochi or in Crimea on Ukraine, and dont grow now, because about hardy citrus plants nothing is not knowns . Breedings of professor Zorin been in Sochi, but now it nearly losses. Some of sorts of professor Zorin (hardy to about 14°F) is in Czech Republic:

http://www.citrusyunas.estranky.cz/clanky/citrusy/citrusy-z-byvaleho-sssr

But sorts of citrus plants hardy from 15°F to 5°F could be found only in nurserys of USA.
The citrus plants cultivate in USA on the great territorys more than 100 years. Sometimes nipping frost wronged, then survivals plants founded new sorts. The selection of new hardy citrus works very successfully. Thats why the sorts of my list is just in nurserys of USA. And I need of citrus plants hardy just from 15°F to 5°F .

Hi Forward. The best time to get seeds is in the fall when the fruit are ripe.

Bernhard is a member of this forum & may have some varieties not listed on his site. Try contacting him.

I have the Juanita and the satsumas that I can send you seeds of in the fall if you can not locate budwood in Europe..

Greet Laaz. Thank you for your attention. I hope to receive seeds this autumn. I will find budwoods and I found yet and receive US 119, Thomasville citrangequat, Citrumelo Batumi, Yuzu, hybrid mandarin Unshiu * Yuz (last two from Nikitsky botanical gardens ).
I think, if the sending by post is about one week, then cuttings will survive, for respective, skilful packing (1-2 twigs, if it will possible).

Hi Forward. It is not legal to send budwood to you, but I can send seed from the fruit in the fall.

I believe you should be able to get budwood for European contacts.
