Trifeola - Minneola X Poncirus trifoliata An interesting hybrid from the Czech nursery Adavo, the Czechs describe it as frost-resistant to 5F (-15С) with edible fruits. Citrus was deciduous, the leaves are mostly single. Unusual flowers with thin petals, ovary fluffy type Poncirus, flowering in March and June The fruit was a small 90g, lemon shape and color. Maturation - the end of February. When cutting the bones was not found, the flesh is juicy, dense. The peel is medium thick, similar to orange, sweet flavor, but a lot of unpleasant oil. The taste was very surprised - edibility compared to the usual citrus, absolutely no oils Poncirus, which is unusual for a direct hybrid. The flesh consistency is similar to orange, thin film, the slices are not divided. The taste resembles a sweet lemon: there is a small acidity, which is not enough to use as a lemon, there is sweetness, but little as for sweet citrus. I note that the fruit grew in the crown of a large tree in a shaded place, perhaps in the Sunny part of the crown, the fruits will be larger and sweeter.

I presume it is -15°C... Don't forget, this is an American forum.

Yes and 15C does not work for me.

5 degrees Fahrenheit is an accomplishment!

This variety sounds great for cold hardy citrus enthusiasts! Maturity of fruit in February means covering tree over winter for many of us I bet.

The tree in Samodelkin's first picture is greatly deficient in iron and is in a dire need.
