- This was a really cool find today, Poncirus trifoliata. Wild Japanese citrus. These are some huge old wild citrus trees and I was really having fun walking around here with my boss. Like a kid in a candy store pawpaws and citrus everywhere! !!!
I have these in my back yard. I live in Chattanooga, Tn. For years we thought it was just a wild LEMON Tre, lol. We make marmalade, tea, and even what we call Dragon Fruit Lemonade. We also candy the rind. When cooked properly, and with enough of them since they do have a lot of seeds but little pulp, they can be tasty, you just have to experiment. One tree though can give you a lot of fruit. It also makes a great border hedge, nobody wants to climb through them, those thorns are painful!
Ken Wright where do I get recipes to use this wild fruit
So awesome!
Just found one on a greenway in Charlotte. I got some fruit and it is delicious to me. 😊
I just found some right down the road. Didn't even know they were there. I remember watching this video. One I found looked like it was growing on a super thorny tree. Smells like magnolia but super delicious. Tart like lemon but sweet enough to eat raw. It is super sweet and not very juicy. Looks like I have a garden project😁.
I just found one growing wild in
Brentwood. Thanks for helping me identify it.
We call them mock Orange s , my grandmother used to put them in a bowl and, instant potpourri! Love your videos, just weed your garden more, you get much more productivity!
I have them on my land too near Chattenooga
Holy CRAP! what an epic find!!!!!!
Okay so I don’t know how else to say this but. I am planting paw paws and flying dragon citrus by my creek in the sequoias it used to be lush with trees now California takes out all the groundwater. So I’m making a garden. And u start the video with paw paws and the orange??????? God is real. Lol. For real.
Can you make orangeade out of them or are they more sour than lemons?
My grandmother used to have a similar sour orange called calamondin that grew on her property in Puerto Rico. The fruits were small, about the size of a small mandarin or tangerine and they had sweet, fragrant peels.
Thats really cool. I was thinking about planting one here in Holland. It should survive here. I also like the look of them. The branches feel and look really funky. It's sold in my favorite catalogue as the only citrus that will grow here. I might give it a try and added it to my shopping list last week.
It should survive in Holland. It gets really cold during the winter in Tennessee. Hope for the best!
They remind me of hedge apples/osage that were planted as a demarcation line for property owners. Mainly by the Pennsylvania Dutch and early settlers. Yet Osage fruits are more "knotty" and lumpy. I'm definitely not an arborist here. :)
wow that is an amazing plant. What a find, well done :)
We have a tree. I'm in Tennessee. In my opinion, the smell is absolutely horrible. I have not tried it yet. I have a bag full in the garage but I am probably giving them to the neighbor. She makes marmalade out of them. she said they are fine. I just can't get past the smell.
awesome find
Cool find!
Oh man put that marmalade on a blueberry muffin and watch your taste buds go to Nirvana and come back just to have more o' THAT! Something about citrus and blueberries... Enjoy :)
Nice find!
Thats awesome!👍🏼🌞
I might want to try these where I live. It has gotten down to -15 F last year so I don’t know how well they’ll do over winter though.
That"s very strong and resistant tree,I thing is originated from mediterranean countries, powerful lemony smell ,I don"t think you can eated though, its more like medicine, and when flowering ..you can smell far away
Have a nice marmelade!
Or lemonade made with waterkefir.
btw I read they also has been used planted as a hedge, that matches with your row you found there...
Pretty cool boss
I LOVE PAWPAWS!
i love citrus.
We have them all over or property i was always told they were poisonous but you aren't the only person to say that they're edible I'm going to be a monkey and see if the person im giving them to lives a few years after eating them before i will try it lol
Dude sell them seeds perfect for lemonade if you decide please let me know I well definitely buy a nice batch I love growing wild strong plants
wild marmalade, YES!!
People say they are bitter and taste like kerosene but I've had some fresh and didn't notice that at all? Maybe some wild types are more potent than others.
Nice find! Are you and your boss thinking of buying the property?
My boyfriends land has these everywhere.....we live in middle south Tennessee
just found one right next to my old driveway in central n.c. never would have noticed except for all the fruit this plant has actually made me bleed in the past and i have actually hacked it back before not knowing what it was.

I'm coming to get some grafts.......
cool
How do you find your land for sale? news paper ,word of mouth or real state agents?
Thank you!
Never heard of them! can they be grown from seed?
oh yes,and they resist up to -20 C
@@said.skopal my friend i heard they can go down to - 35 C
They are not that rare. Hardy to at least -10 F Many citrus plants are grafted onto them because it increases hardiness of the tree. Invasive in the South. Most people consider them inedible. Can make a marmalade out of them.
Can likely grow them as far north as New York.
Do you live in TN?
can you send seeds to UK? I would love some
What do I have to do to get some seeds!
I saw the seeds on JL Hudson seedbank, in case anyone's still looking.
Cool, thanks!
Cool! Thank you!
VERY COOL SITE, HAD NEVER HEARD OF THEM! EVERYONE NEEDS TO CHECK OUT THE JL HUDSON SEEDBANK. Thanks for sharing.
I just found some in Charlotte walking on the greenway. 😊 I am saving some of the seeds I got from the fruit. I like the taste.
