Who wants Yuma Gwangne Poncirus x Chansha Citrandarin?

[till]

Hello,

I had to prune my Changsha Citrandarin - tragically enough. There was critical bark die back due to a wound infected by mould during our wet winter. So I had to cut off one of its two biggest branches, about 80 cm long and very well branched. Now I have this otherwise very strong branch and can send it whole or in parts to those who would like to have budwood or cuttings.

I have the plant from www.pflanzen-des-Suedens.de (Mr. Meeder, Germany). It is still listed there (https://www.pflanzen-des-suedens.de/Citruspflanzen/In-Vorbereitung/; No. 9). I have not yet gotten fruits. So all that I can say is that it is a strong plant on Poncirus rootstock that has thick thorny twigs and thick evergreen leaves.

In case that more than one person is interested I would divide the branch. I live in Germany. So I can ship to countries in the EU, probably to Brittany, Switzerland and all countries that have no importation bann for Citrus plants. 

Yours,Till

Have you asked the owner of this nursery what does it mean "9 Yuma Gwangne Poncirus x Chansa Citrandarin"?

[till]

No, I havn't. No. 9 is just the number in his listing. That doesn't mean anything. But what is "Yuma Gwangne Poncirus"? A good question. Shall I ask him for you?

A very strange name, I personally do not care, but it seems you believe it is a citrandarin.

There are some other funny names on that website like the Citremon "Citramelo" which he says is extra hardy, the mandarin "Murccte" (Murcott?) or the paradisi x paradisi where the German name is "Pomela" and in the description it says maxima x sinensis...

Yes, there are some strange names which casts doubt on his descriptions. He seems to be a hobby enthusiast for southern plants and is said to have a very impressive garden. From my correspondence with him, it seems to me that plant selling is just a hobby. He has never much in stock but grafts plants for you when you order them. He sends plants via post but prefers it when you pick them up at his home.

My plant may well be a Citrandarin. But it is thinkworthy that the name he gives to it can hardly if at all be found by google in any other catalogue or document. I only find a Yuma Citrange. I have supposed up to now that "Gwangn"e is a typing mistake for something very similar sounding.

Hi till:
Is this tree trifoliate? That might be reveal some of it's ancestry.

Till it may be bred with the Yuma Ponderosa which is a hybrid pomello & used as rootstock in California.

The City of "Changsha" is located in the Hunan province of China. Hunan borders the province of Guangxi.

Perhaps "Guangxi Changsha" would be a regional variety of Mandarin.
