Released from "Cra-Istituto Sperimentale per lÂ’Agrumicoltura di Acireale" in 2004. |
Is this variety available anywhere?

Rad and Sanguinello, I'll toss my hat into the seed ring, too. If you can find any seeds of these varieties, I'd love to have some!

AMOA 8 and OTA 9 are more for ornamental - non commercial purpose, so you can buy them only in special nurseries, selling plants in pots - more expensive.
TACLE , MANDARED and ALKANTARA are normal commercial varieties for fruit producing farms, so you can buy them in many nurseries in south Italy selling trees with roots in bags with soil - less expensive. |

I already have AMOA as you know, so seeds will be available as soon as fruits ripe. I know someone who has TACLE, so I can ask him for seeds. MANDARED I want to buy on my next visit in Italy.
> Marc, fruit of OTA 9 looks like mini blood orange, I have picture in pdf document, but I do not know how to extract it.  |

Windows PC: In the pdf, zoom and centre picture on screen. Then press the 'PrintScrn' key. This copies complete screen image to clipboard. Then open any image editing program and paste using 'control+v' or by selecting 'paste' from file menu. Crop the image size back to the picture you want, and save. Simple!

That doesn't really look like a small fruit to me!
Nice color!
