Hey, Chad, that's a great list. They're all edible except for the trifoliate orange but even that makes a great landscape bush and barrier. I'd love to see a tour of the greenhouse at the end of the summer.
Citrumelos can take down to 10° the fruit is okay at best, decent lemon substitute. Some kumquats can take down to 15° “marumi.” Arctic Frost satsuma is questionable to its hardiness, safely 15° hardiness. The Thomasville citrangequat is perhaps the best tasting cold hardy citrus. Trifoliate parentage without the funky taste, hardy to 5° and great quality fruit.
Great info bomb, good sir. Very interesting about that root stock. Still looking for the right kumquat, I wanna see what I can do with one in my arctic environment
@dalexfilms that's not exactly what I was asking. I have an orange tree, probably grafted onto a root stock. I was asking if it was a bad idea to let that root stock grow a shoot of its own. Essentially having 2 trees growing from the same root stock, one grafted and one "own root".
@@slowpoke4557You certainly could, but flying dragon orange juice is bitter, tastes bad and is widely considered to be not worth growing if your environment can support any other citrus. Some people do use the juice for jellies and the like after a lot of processing though, so you can try it for yourself.

Have you tried to plant kumquat in ground? I'm in 6b/7a and i have them in ground with large leafs stack over winter

Are you stocking up on a che tree this year?
Where to purchase?
So my calamondin orange tree, which i thought was a regular orange tree when i bought it in Florida, might be on a trifoliate orange root stock?
Yes, that’s correct. Most citrus trees for containers or even for the home garden will be grafted on a flying dragon rootstock.
@@PlantFanatics would it be a bad idea to let a shoot or 2 of the root stock to grow then?
@@slowpoke4557 If you can root them, you can graft your own trees.
