Since I grow outdoors and do not care to overwinter citrus (already overwhelmed w/plumeria), This is my complete collection and won’t be changed unless something dies:

satsuma okitsu wase

satsuma artic frost

new Zealand lemonade

red Valencia orange

clementine orange

var. Meyers lemon

var. Calamondin

shiranui

grapefruit Bloomsweet

2 Moro Red

finger lime (potted, will bring in)

Everhard Navel orange (potted, protected)

Kimbrough satsuma (potted, Protected)

Bossy, nice collection, did your homework!!!

My Meyers is potted and surrounded by guavas that I keep trimmed as shrubs. The shrubs are great insulation though Meyers

4 seed grown Meiwa trees

3 NZL trees

2 fukushu trees

And a partridge in a grafted Meiwa tree

Thanks Bob

Anything that can survive outside and is edible. 47° North in latitude

Dunstan citrumelo

Yuzu

Keraji mandarin

mandarinquat

Bloomsweet "grapefruit" up against a South-facing brick wall

Satsuma mandarin inside a small frame with plastic sheeting cover

The prize in my collection is a rare hard to find hybrid that supposedly has citrange, Ichang papeda and Tangelo in its ancestry.

(none of the above have fruited yet)

Also a Satsuma-Changsha hybrid (arctic frost, like the one bossyvossy listed) that did start setting fruits indoors, but when planted outside in early Spring died back because the temperatures were still too cool. It has since regrown out two new little branches from the bottom, and the leaves look big and lush.

Here's the little Yuzu that survived the Winter (albeit a very mild Winter on the West Coast this year) with only a plastic sheet covering:

I'd like to add Ichang papeda to the collection but I can't find it for sale anywhere, I may have to take a cutting from the botanical garden.

Why not, botanical gardens are for people to enjoy, right. If I run a garden, I even cut a nice piece for you.

This is it with a few that are duplicated or triplicated. This won't change until one of them goes down or I find a Shasta Gold, Tahoe Gold, or Daisy SL. FWG has the Tahoe Gold but sitting on my hands.

You guys, if all your tree's become very productive you might get a call from the big box stores. The quarantine states might not be able to supply enough.

Members sure accumulated the finest varieties. It seems that all of you don't stop at nothing. Wonderful!!

Eons ago I had dreams of having my own orangerie but it was so much easier to grow inground. These are Kimbrough and the navel orange. They produce a handful. I do cover them in winter. Orange blossoms make our patio pure heaven in early spring.

i tried growing pomelos twice but not hardy in my area.

Bossy, you must be getting ready for a explosion in tree growth and filling that big container. It is looking nice already.

Those trees are over 10 YO. The container itself and weather setbacks keep size small.

Bossy, what part of the country do you live in to be able to grow them outside all year long? You are so lucky and that tree is a winner. Love the pot too. Wish I could grow mine outside on a patio all year long.

Everyone else, I can't believe the amount of trees you all have and to grow them indoors come winter even a bigger feat! How do you all grow them indoors? Do you use lights, cold rooms. or a sunny warm window? Do you even have room for that many? I thought I had alot.

Houston Tx. Z9a. Not all is hardy to grow inground. Grapefruits, most limes and lemons, are not but can be overwintered.

I have Femminello Siracusano 2kr, NZL, and Interdonato lemon budwood arriving next week and I plan to purchase a key lime and sanguinelli blood orange in the spring. I’m quickly running out of room lol.

Shiranui (2)

New Zealand Lemonade (2)

Variegated Minneola (2)

Variegated Calomondin

Australian red lime

Fukushu kumquat

Meiwa kumquat

Vaniglia Sanguigno Blood Orange

Santa Teresa Lemon (very sad, very yellow, hasn't grown at all since I got it last spring. Hoping Four Winds will replace it when they're back in stock)

Really don't have room for more, actually not sure I have room for what I have as they get bigger, but Yuzu is calling to me...

I like manderins and oranges much better than lemon/lime, is it because i don't do nothing with them? I keep lemon tree's at 4 max.

2 theresas (10 years old) one oro blanco (10 years old) one Kieffer (10 years old) 2 buddhas, 2 fukushu, 2 meiwa, one gold nugget, one valentino (does not want to grow) one flying dragon, one variegated calamondin, one centennial kumquat, one Gondoraj, one clementino rubino, 20 seville oranges, one bergamot and a couple of seedlings from last year and hopefully one of them is the limone rosso.

Suz, the Valentino, what rootstock is used? They are strong growers.

I have many more but these are my can't live without. Wish list Ortanique. Just amazing the collections everyone have here ! !!!

Brian

bob this one came from FWG no tag what root stock but since it had suckers, I know it is trifoliate

Its C35: Good for quick out of the box to production. Not much good to say about it beyond it is better than any of the low quality lemon Rootstocks. If you are getting good fruit from your tree then your rootstock has met its requirements.

I have a New Zealand lemonade on C35 and it is OK. My first fruit will come in a month or 2 and we will be able to compare it to the same fruit from a tree on US897.

I have a seed grown Fukushu and a C35 rooted Fukushu. The seed grown fukushu is superior in every way. Neither has fruit so we have to wait for that one

Steve

If that little tree is big enough to take a cutting, i would graft a piece on another tree, just in case.(back-up)

yes that is a good idea. For now it is just to small.

Brian, where did you find the Boukhobza Blood Orange? Have you tasted it yet? I’ve never heard of this variety.

Wait till coming spring, when a ton of budwood is available among members. When you going to do a little grafting you better be nice the ones that has just the one you are looking for. Just look at all these listings, a treasure trove for sure. I forecast a bunch of happy growers. I am just as good as our weather forecasters, always right on the money.

Ouch, that hurts! Have you read an article about Florida orchards going to way smaller tree’s just to stay ahead of HLB. More little trees and easier to replace, like a fence row design.

Best tasting (in my personal opinion, which is very subjective)

Mandarins:

Satsuma (from a mature tree, takes years to develop full flavor)

closely followed by Shasta Gold and Kishu

Some people also really love Page (the aroma reminds me of pine needles, not in a bad way)

Minneola Tangelos are of course a classic

For oranges, Valencia is the one and only (if grown in a warm climate, because in cooler climates it may not develop full flavor and sweetness)

Grapefruits:

Duncan has "classic grapefruit flavor", the gold standard by which to measure grapefruit flavor (but is a bit seedy, and some people complain of grapefruit bitterness)

Oroblanco is sort of like a milder version of Duncan, less bitterness, but a tiny bit less aroma also, still a great one. It's sweet, and even many people who don't care for grapefruits still think Oroblanco is okay.

another tree that was reduced from huge to nothing but a shrub by disease is the American chestnut. Disease is 100% fatal

Hi Kelley my Boukhobza is only 14 inches tall so no fruit yet . Of all my tree's it's the smallest and barely grew this summer , kind of disappointed. Apparently Kelley the Boukhobza is the new favorite of the UCR citrus collection it's supposed to taste really good.

Brian
