It's interesting to have an edible Poncirus. It will be interesting to create new hardy hybrid, without Poncirine!

Eyeckr I do not think my PM got to you (at least it wasn't in my 'sent' box, sorry if I'm double buggin ya!), but I would love to a Lemandarin or two off of your hands if you still have a few to spare! If you do send me a PM and let me know how to get you some $.

Thanks,
Joe

Joe I sent you a pm for the Lemandarin fruit. To be honest in regards to the dragon lime, between the two trees I have (one potted, one inground) they've only produced about four fruit, two of which were surprisingly absconded away by some varmit. The second one I tasted was just the same as the first one. I'll check this years harvest to see if I find any seeds. Mr Texas or Buddinman probably have sampled more DL and could confirm if they are usually seedless.
Matt glen citrangedin has the sour of calamondin that has been kicked up a notch but lacks the pleasant scent and sweet peel. It is a pretty fruit though as they get a very deep orange bordering on red. Its also fun to spot the occasional bi and trifoliate leaves. Oddly enough early on I grafted this out to provide me a calamondin-like fruit but since then I went ahead and high grafted (about six feet up on trifoliate) actual calamondin. The calamondin so far is handling my winters well and I expect fruit next year.

Thanks Eyeckr! I cannot wait for the fruit and thanks for the DL info!

So GREAT !!!

These wonderful trees with so lovely fruits !!!!

I would be so glad if I could get seeds of them ...

@Sanguinello -no problem, remind me this fall as I should have a bumper crop of fruit.

I've been slacking lately and haven't gotten around to posting some pics I took from 2010 and 2011. Now I have a little time to do so:

Yuzvange



Croxton grapefruit


Clementine x Changsha


Sanbokan
I lost this graft in 2010 I believe due to a couple of factors: heavy fruit set and it was grafted on flying dragon.


Tokyo pummelo and Yuzu Strada Montana

Hanna Tokyo pummelo open



Golden Grapefruit
I'm amazed at its striking orange flesh and really like the taste

Sweet, extremely juicy and none of the grapefruit twang


The seedless Ichang for sure and possibly Limau limo are the only two hardy of the four pictured


Honey Changsha left, Yuzuquat center and right

Thanx a lot !!!


Can´t wait to fall ...

The pics are AMAZING !!!
Most of the sorts I did not even heard about, not to think about to see most others !

Also the non-hardy are just gorgeous !!!


Regards

How much seedless is the seedless Ichang papeda?
Has it pulp and juice?
Is it as cold hardy as the regular I. Papeda? (-15°C)

G, why would you think that the Flying Dragon root stock had anything to do with the demise of the Sanbokan? - Millet

Wonderful fruits, nice photos, especially Sanbokan and Yuzuquat.
Thanks!

I think Poncirus makes troubles for it is incompatible.

I wonder why they must be grafted at all ...

Laaz, was it the neighbor on the right side as you face your house? I have had a LOT of trees grafted onto Flying Dragon, and they have all done very well, never had a problem with FD. When I purchase a tree I always request that the tree be grafted onto a Flying Dragon root stock. In fact some of the best quality citrus trees that I have seen, are the trees sold by Flying Dragon Nursery.

Hey Bob. No it's the neighbor to the left if you're facing my house.

Flying is great for just about everything except certain lemons which are not compatible with it.

Poncirus generally is not compatible with citrus.
That is proofed by the connection of rootstock and scion.
Typically as a bottle neck, but sometimes even worse.

Connection of citrus to citrus like citrus aurantium or rough lemon, are perfect without such effects.

What I wonder why plants that are hardy and do well on own roots must be grafted at all.
The super dwarfing effect makes also no sense, if planted outside.
