  • Come along as we take a slice out of this rare and new hybrid cold hardy citrus, the miho wase satsuma mandarin crossed with a poncirus trifoliatta. Satsumas are already really cold hardy to the low teens once established, but now with a touch of wild trifoliate orange, possible cold tollerance now of atleast 0 F if not SUB ZERO!!! That would be amazing but only time and a guenea pig tree to test it out would tell us if it really can survive sub zero. Thanks for tuning in!!

      I have tasted pineapple oranges down here in Florida and they taste very different. Pineapple oranges really just taste similar to other juicing oranges with a slight grapefruity flavor. That’s from the ones I had. I was really hoping to taste pineapple in it. This citrandarin has trifoliate in it which gives it a totally unique flavor, it almost taste like pineapple up front followed by an orangey aftertaste with a slight grapefruit flavor. It actually smells like pineapple once you cut it

I recently added 5 varieties of Florida peach low chill hours, plus a bunch of different cold hardy avocados and bananas. Not to mention everything we did to our Tennessee property before we sold it. Cold hardy citrus especially the trifoliate types should be an entire industry in itself and nobody even knows about them. I still have a list of varieties I have hard hard times trying to get and fruits of trifoliate varieties I have read about or seen but yet to try. Huge void when it come to tough citrus. Just getting the info out there and shining light on these types is more than what is currently available now.

    Where can we get this?

      At the moment, there are only a few trees total of this variety. It’s going to take some time to graft out more and start getting this amazing variety more available. Very rare, not at the moment. I’m hoping to get a tree or 2 and also graft some also. I talk with the breeder of this regular so I will keep you posted 💪🍊

      At the moment, I’m hoping to get some budwood or a small grafted tree. But there is really one tree currently. This is from a citrus breeders own private collection. I was really lucky to get a few and share it with you guys. Hoping I can maybe offer a few small fruits for sale in the distant future. 💪🍊

      @@truthseeker1364 I have had sour orange as rootstock with a red lime scion, red lime didn’t make it through the 18 degrees last Christmas but the sour orange grew from the roots and is big and strong. I have tasted a few sour oranges and they are not too bad, lots of diversity they all taste different to me. Yeah I might need to put an order in for woodlanders in the next month or so
