I'll be there the first weekend of April. I'll bring some Keraji and Nuclem wood over and the other one I'm supposed to give you.

Here's some pictures of my seedling Keraji.
It just started to fruit the last two years. Only a handful each year, but both of those years we had hard freezes. This year it looks to be setting a very heavy crop.

Laaz, I can handle that as long as you like a cold American Lager. I'm about an hour from Savannah airport. How far is that for you? Idk.. when I could really get up there, but I would like to see that collection of yours.

Selkirk, Nice...how old is it? How cold does it get there?

You know we thought the 09'/10' winter here was cold and then the 10'/11' was the coldest in history. With that being said, I've seen as much damage this year, to some trees, as last year. We had a short 15-17degree blast in mid Feb. that bit hard after it had been warm all winter.

About 2 to 2 1/2 hours from Savannah. We actually really didn't have much of a winter here. We got down to 23F one night & I think 25F on another night.

I rate keraji as not as good as satsuma. I used to have a tree.

Are you referring to cold hardiness? or fruit quality?

Keraji is a great fruit. It tastes like a mandarin/sweet lemonade cross similar to Sambokan. It makes a small greenish yellow fruit that isn't very seedy and peels super easy.

Eyeckr, I eat mines wen they are fully ripe, in February. They are completely yellow, are very sweet and taste exactly like mandarins. At this state the skin is totally separated from the flesh.

I bought it in a garden-shop in Bordeaux.
I must say that the sellers are on the French forum and they always find very rares citrus. Very nice guys.
