Each time I have bought a new plant I decide it was the very last one. And then suddenly I find another specimen that I find interesting 
It happened again last week, and yes, another plant is on it's way... a Mandared hybrid! Should arrive monday or tuesday...

...and yes, the manda®ed arrived today! 
It's a rather large plant, larger than I expected. It's not in a perfect state but it's not too bad either.
The plant:
The most striking feature are the enormous spines that are present on some of the branches...
A few flower buds are present...
The tag on the plant, indicating both the cultivar and the rootstock:
The plastic container it came in was broken on arrival and some of the soil was out of the container, partly exposing the roots. I repotted the plant as soon as possible and noticed some (but not too much I hope) damage to the roots.

Mike, if I was you I would clip those wicked thorns off, before someone gets hurt... |

The spines look nasty but in fact they are somewhat flexible and not really sharp. The spines on my etrog tree on the other hand, now those are really wicked!

It looks like an erratic juvenile growth to me...  |

Yes, winter doen't want to go away this year! 
We got 2 inches of snow this weekend, but with the cold dry windy weather we have currently, almost all snow has evaporated.
