Hi Vlad! I think my tree looks a lot like FD, but it’s supposed to taste better...I hope???

If we have a nuclear war and your poncirus with ripe fruit is the only plant that survives, the fruit will be very tasty.

Steve

Laura Your fruit will be quite tasty with no PT after bite.

Flowers may still develop on new growth, it would,t surprise me, tree look big enough to carry a good size load.

Yes, thanks to the mild winter, this gave any hardy citrus a chance to really get established. My hardy citrandarin has put on so much growth. It bloomed too, but not sure any fruit have remained.

Wow how interesting laura please update us on the fruit! I’ve been thinking of putting my yuzu in ground too just haven’t gotten the courage to do it yet.

Hi guys. After looking at it again today, I think that all the little buds are going to be flowers. I found more growing. I hope that some fruit sticks so that I can finally report at to the flavor. To me it looks a whole lot like FD, which does not give much optimism. It certainly is growing now - and has HUGE thorns. I'll post more pics in a few days.

Here are some from today:

Hi Laura, did your Prague hold any fruit?

I got a young one. Interested to hear more reports. Reports are that the fruit is like a sweet satsuma or tangerine, so I have huge optimism in spite of the trifolate thorns.

Me too Laura.

I am told personally by someone I know that the inside of the fruits are pretty much just like Satsuma, except somewhat more sour and the fruit size is smaller. The inside is nothing like poncirus.

I was personally able to observe the leaves on the plant, and in my opinion it was much more consistent with an interspecies graft chimera than a hybrid, since different sections of the plant and different branches had different shaped leaves, not like any of the poncirus hybrids I've seen.

Hi guys! I’ve been out of touch so I just saw these questions. We are well and my indoor collection is doing fairly well - especially since I really narrowed down those that I wanted to keep. Paul, the Prague did not hold any fruit. I don’t understand - it’s in the ground and bigger than some of my indoor trees. It is not a fast grower and it barely has flowered. It has also taken quite a pounding this winter with no protection. I’ll post a picture in a minute.

Here it is - not great but hopefully it will survive.

The brown towards the ground is not the Prague.

I am glad you and your citrus trees are doing well. How is Alexander doing. I am slated to get -6F Friday night Saturday morning.

Hi Steve! I looked through some of the posts and saw that your trees are also well. Alexander is fine - full of flowers. I think he took some time off from holding fruit. Maybe he needed a break and I also think he may need a root trim and some freshening up of the 5-1-1. I feel so much better this year with the tree situation because I can light them better, check for bugs, and it’s much easier to water them. Alexander is in that corner - hard to see but he’s there. :)

@Laura LaRosa (7b) Laura, I missed you. Hope you and yours are doing well.

Sorry I don’t know why the same comment posted twice. Vlad, it’s great to hear from you. Hope you are all well. How are your trees?

Hello to my eastern neighbor, Laura! I picked up a baby prague from Stan last year, hasn't grown any yet. Hopefully, once I it out this spring. Fingers crossed that it is cold hardy enough for in ground here in N-Va because I want to put it in ground once it gets a few more years of growth.

Good luck with yours Ken! I wish I could try the fruit one day. I hope it is worth the trouble!
