Very nice tree. I read that it is the best tasting of the citranges. If you have tasted one, is it any good? |

I guess I shouldn't believe everything I read lol. Has anyone tasted the poncirus x changsha mandarin hybrid? I read it's almost edible, which probably means it tastes disgusting lol. |

Exactly. It won't kill you, but it won't leave a pleasant taste in your mouth either. _________________ Wal-Mart a great place to buy cheap plastic crap ! http://walmartwatch.com/ ...

I have two Morton citranges growing outside in my garden in England.
About 15 years old, one is about 2m (6ft) tall the other about 3m (9ft), and still waiting for flowers and fruits.

Yes, originally for about 5 years they were in pots and moved into a greenhouse. This probably slowed down their development a bit but at the time I didn't want any chance of losing them in a cold winter. Now I know that they are big enough to survive the coldest British winters.

I got 2 from the expo in Virginia Beach. I juiced them and thought it was pretty good. There was a mild aftertaste - but nothing like trifolate.....seriously. I would gladly juice more of them. |

In my opinion, if the word citrange or the word poncirus appears anywhere in the name of the fruit, it simply is not worth growing, *if* it is grown for eating. - Millet (788-) |
