Here's a video by a US cold hardy Citrus enthusiast describing a likely US 852 seedling. I've had the opportunity to taste it and find it highly flavored, being both acid and sweet. There's an initial slightly unfamiliar passing flavor, quickly surpassed by sweet and acidic flavors. The color is a deep orange, size is small. The rind is the thinnest I've seen on Citrus and very adherent. The segments adhere to each other and are difficult to separate. The foliage is reported to be trifoliate. youtu.be/FCyvolXNHCs |

None of them is in ground. 852 is in ground. It survived easily.

Kevin, just a bit of a reminder: when translating from French, "hardy" often is mistranslated as "rustic". The preferred translation is "cold hardy". English has the word "rustic", but it's meaning is"from the countryside, or old fashioned".
Back to Citrus, best of success to you as you embark on cold hardy Citrus breeding!

899J was hardy to around -13C, it had some damage in my garden after -16°C in 2012.
There were no frostbites , but some internal stem damage and the tree was stunned for two seasons.
After 15 years in ground no flowers yet. |
