Does anyone have or know where I can find scion wood for the "Purple Flowered Citradia"? It's listed in Nagle as readily setting hybrids and being very cold hardy. I'm still desperately trying to collect trifoliate hybrids that set a high percentage of zygotic seedlings to use as mother plants for hybridization and this seems like a good one!

Have you tried Woodlanders? They specialize in many of the tri hybrids.

Thanks Laaz, they do have some great seedling selections, including a citradia, so I e-mailed them. They didn't know of this selection, though. This plant is probably still out there somewhere (I like to think), but I'm guessing it's a long shot to get a cutting from it, where ever it might be.

If anyone knows of a trifoliate hybrid with purple tinged flowers, roughly half its leaves multifoliate, fruit ripening in November, leaves finely serrulate near tips and with large winged petioles....please drop me a note! Fruits will taste bad, but with its ability to set lots of zygotic seeds that works for me.
