Yeah, the top one is what I was curious about. You have a great collection.
Do you have a Seville orange in your collection? |

I tasted the Corrugated orange when Citrus Joe and I visited UCR's Citrus Variety Collection. An interesting point about the tree. Some of the fruit on the tree had good corrugation, like the one in Laaz's picture, while other fruit on the tree, showed very little to no corrugation. Millet (300 BO-) |

I've had it for years. This is a sour orange, not the corrugated navel that UCR has listed. I don't believe the Thompson corrugated navel is available.
Believe me, I would love one for my collection.

The corrugated sour orange has much better corrugation in my opinion.

What causes that? Do the trees lack vigor? |

Nice specimen. I've been thinking of getting one of those too, but they're either out of stock or too expensive in my preferred nurseries... 
I've heard they taste well but have a bitter peel. Does that match your experiences?

This is a mutation of Seville, I don't eat sour oranges. Too bitter for my taste.
