I do not understand ...

Why make a patent and then not sell it ???

Besides, if it is only for Italy, then it is free every else, also USA where you guys can get it ...

Because then they can get royalties for every plant sold.

YES, that´s what I meant !!!

If it is patented, then you get the plants, for they want to get the money from the plants sold !

It is pretty much the same as all of the CA gold mandarin varieties.

Availability: Commercially available in California through the Citrus Clonal Protection Program.

Yes, you can buy budwood.

That would be enough for me ...

No, I got it right.
The reply of that CRA guy, that it is patented and therefore not available in Italy is nonsense.
He might have say: Not yet, that would have made sense.
Besides he knows Marc is not Italian, so why not tell where else he can get it ???

As far as I understand there is some budwood exchange with Riverside ...

You got it wrong.
And about Riverside,
I am not sure, but I think, that I saw somewhere something like, that the future of Riverside collection is not certain, because of lack of money, so maybe they have different problems, than looking for budwood of ornamental tree from Europe right now.

UCR has Amoa8, not sure about the others, but I would assume so.

The CRA guy sais they applied for a patent and, therefore, it is not yet available in italian nurseries.

It will just be a matter of time, we'll have to be patient!

As long as you send me seeds from all of these strange hybrids we're good.

I'm sure they're already available on eBay!
