About a couple of years ago i managed to get some Haruka seeds from a guy who visited japan. I germinated them all, and got 4 seeds with more than 1 embryo. I registered every plant which came from the same seed, and gave them a code (Seed 1 plant A, seed 1 plant B and so on). So i guess i have the original clone among those. The point is how to recognize it?
Some of those plants had some problems with pot cultivation or my cultivation, who knows. However a couple of complete sets exists today (i grafted some of them on macrophylla too) so the original clone must be here. Point is how to recognize it? I don't have better idea than checking the fruits. So now i striving to induce flowering as soon as possible in those plants. My problem is that i don't have much space and i can't just put them in ground since my place has routinely temperature till -8°C. What is worse is that i need to confront at least two clones, so whatever i do for inducing the flowering, i must do it two fold. Do you have any idea on how can I hasten the procedure?
BTW Haruka leaves smell is amazing in my opinion, mandarin-like but more spicy, hopefully fruits are good too.

Normally the most vigorous plant is the clone.

Standard procedure in Japan is to graft it in top of the crown of big fruiting tree. For some reason, the best place is at least 2,5m high, if I remember it correctly.

So, it seems that you have at least 8 plants, so can determine a sub-group of true clones that are more or less uniform in appearance, smell and taste of the leaves.
