Okay, that's a stretch, Millet, lol! The trees at UC Riverside had decent sized fruit. About the same size as the Pixie. But then, the trees were probably 6 to 10 years old and in the ground, which can help with fruit size. Hopefully my Seedless Kishu will have reasonably sized fruit. I sure loved them, best ever tasting mandarin. Even better than Gold Nugget, which was really delicious.

i hate to bump this 4 spots back to the top but after some soul searching and deep meditation i decided i cant buy the minneola tangelo. i swear its like buying i car or marriage with me, i felt like this was a life long commitment with the tree, and i just didnt care for the fruit ive eaten enough to do it.

good news is, i definately want the gold nugget and i may order a yosemite gold while im at it. and ill go from there...

thanks for all the help

Totally understandable. I have about 40 different citrus varieties, and none are a Minneola. I don't care for them so much. Too tart for me. Which is funny because I love the Wekiwa. You'll enjoy both of those choices, I have them both and they are excellent.
