From National Public Radio recordings.

About 6 minutes into the interview, my name was mentioned by Robert Luhn, who came for a visit to look at my 48-in-1 citrus tree at that time. He got it right that the frost tolerant citrus are grafted on the top and the least tolerant are on the bottom. Listen to the recording only if you have time. It talks about grafting and fruit hybridization.

I listened patiently but could not find you were mentioned. Sorry.

Start listening right after the 6 minutes marker on your media player. it is where he talks about my 48 varieties in one citrus tree where the frost tolerant are grafted on the top and frost sensitive are in the bottom, and also the mention of certification for Guinness World Record.

and not to mention your daughter wanting the car keys!!! LOL

BTW on my windows media player it says 05:18 "can you put more than one kind of fruit on a tree?" then starts talking about The FAMOUS JOE CITRUS TREE.. Kinda like Joe Cool right?? Wink

Have to refer to multi graft citrus as Joe citrus tree after Guinness gets it official.. Very Happy

Too bad riches don't come with the fame...
That is great!!! Congrats!

Congrats Joe!
Is it possible you could take a pic just of the tree? I remember you posted a pic of some of the branches, but I'd love to see whole thing & how big it is.
How about one with you next to it Exclamation
