Stan has pretty much id'd our plant as most likely a Citrandarin or possibly a seedling from it (maybe Changsha background), through information that was collected by my friend Dave K. tracing back where he bought the plant and when. That makes complete sense given its hardiness, flavor, etc.

We're going to start grafting it on Poncirus stock to increase our tree in spring just to be sure we at least have a few more clones.

We'll continue to grow out our 18 or so seedlings too, and document the process carefully.

Thanks Stan and Dave!

off topic here, so sorry


just wanted to say thanks Joe. The videos of yours and your friends landscapes inspired me to try some of what you guys do. I had good success last year and look forward to this years.
I really enjoy the tours and go back to them often for more ideas!

thanks
Mike
