Can anyone comment on the effect of (eremo)citrus glauca on ripening season and fruit flavour when used in hybridising.

Does its high acidity dominate in the hybrids?

Is the quick ripening trait lost due to the increased size of the fruits in the hybrids?

Is anybody growing any hybrids outside of eremolemon, eremorange and citrangeremo?

I have red in a book of Bernhard Voss ("Zitruspflanzen - Von tropisch bis winterhart") that all hybrids bring their fruits to maturity in about three months what is only a bit more than eremocitrus glauca itself.

Bernhard calls the acidity pleasant. But I have no own experience. I hope I get my own fruits this summer. Then I can say more.
