Texas Sour Citrus Collector

[texasquat]

Hi everyone!

I'm based around Houston, Texas and I'm a huge fan of tart/sour Citrus trees, especially Kumquat hybrids.

I haven't been growing Citrus for very long but I'm very engrossed in the history and origins of trees. I'm also collecting as many reputable/well regarded Citrus / blogs / excerpts as I can.

I'm currently on the hunt for a copy physical or digital copy of Citrus for the Gulf Coast by Stewart Nagle if anyone has any leads.

The varieties of citrus I'm currently growing are:

Nagami
Kumquat
Changshou
Kumquat
Marumi
Kumquat
Nippon Orangequat
Indio Mandarinquat
Thomasville Citrangequat
Eustis Limequat
Calamondin
Golden Grapefruit
Page Mandarin
New Zealand Lemonade
Mexican Thornless Lime
Yuzu
Australian Finger Lime

You wouldn't happen to be able to take pictures of the book's contents for me would you? I could even pay you for your time and effort.

Quite the kumquat orchard you've got there, which tree is your favorite?

Only my New Zealand lemonade and Meiwa kumquats have fruited.  The Meiwas are tasty but low volume producers an extremely slow to grow.  The NZL's were quite tasty too, but in a totally different way.  The NZL win because they were a close second in taste and far more production in fruit volume.

Texasquat, send me you name and address by private message and I will send you a copy of Nagle's book. Nagle's book was never sold as a hard cover, but rather as a stapled copy. citrusgrowersv2.proboards.com/post/new/556

Texasuat. I sent Nagle's book today.  You should receive it on Saturday.

Thank you so much, it came in today.

My local post office delivered it to the wrong address and thankfully the person who received it in error actually went in and had them redeliver it. 

I really appreciate it. Please let me know how I can repay you for your help!
