It will be glacial pace but it will get done. Been working 60 to 70 hours a week at my job so it's hard to find time. The research has mostly been done though. Comments like yours are super encouraging. Again I deeply appreciate it!
@@anthroman7963 Guess i didn't mention before but I'm a musician, if you ever need some royalty free music for a project I'd be happy to donate/contribute.
I searched for this video because two workers in a nursey were arguing about the kumquat I was buying. One said it was an orange, the other a mandarin. I can now say: Neither!
I’m a citrus grower in Turkey. We only have lemon, mandarin, and orange growing in our region. I didn’t know there were so many other citrus species. I’m very excited to grow different varieties of citrus. This was a very informative and amazing video!
3000 species and counting, we have an influx of species here in the EU for gardening and collecting, not in supermarkets though. I expect that the number of cultivated ones will rise from the usual mix of lemon mandarin and orange, already pomelos are pretty often to be found in supermarkets.
That sounds great. There a many nice hybrids too. I like that you consider new species for the market. Let me know if you succeded finding any. I love Yuzu myself. Different use than a lemon but so flavourful you can't even imagine
Only really expected this to be a rough overview of cultivation history for the most part but was actually blown away by how much more we can even know about the prehistoric roots of this genus than I'd thought up until now - great work compiling and presenting all that research!
I watched the whole thing!! Was very interesting. I became obsessed with citrus bc my gateway kumquat produced so much. I've now added meyer lemon, keffir lime, pomelo, calamondin & yuzu lol. All in pots and they produce pretty well! Thanks for sharing your hard work with us.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I’m fascinated by citrus. I have a finger lime, Mayer lemon, variegated pink lemon, key lime, navel orange and grapefruit, yuzu and a commercial variety of mandarin orange. I hope to add calamondin and kumquat soon which I lost during a hard freeze several years ago. Citrus adds so much zing to foods. I also have apricot, pomegranate, fig, avacado, and persimmon trees. There used to be just something about growing fruit trees that is very appealing to me. Thank you so much for this video.
My hobby in cocktails and bartending made me learn syrup making and it has also led me to citrus varieties and I finally found your amazing video. I never knew how far the citrus' journey has come. Thank you very much for the lesson!
We have here in our tropical monsoon forests of India the original wild Citron. It is treasured for its medicinal use. The peel and pith are extremely bitter, and pulp and juice extremely sour. We make pickles, esp. salted and sundried whorls of fruit, that are chewed during and after severe fevers, illness, etc. These citron fruit can be anywhere between a small apple sized fruit to very large melon sized fruit sometimes weighing over a kilogram each.
Excellent coverage. Not that I will remember most of it but I had no idea how these “common” fruits had evolved or been purposefully crossed to create what we enjoy today. Thank you for your scholarly dive into this little known topic.
I'm a citrus fanatic. I love growing these trees from seed and I've watched this particular video of yours more times than I can remember because it focuses on evidence and takes the time to go through the evolutionary path of most citrus species. Thank you once more.
This video was so fascinating, and so well-researched, thanks for making it. I really hope you make more videos like this in the future, I find the evolution of different fruits so interesting.
I grew up in East Central Florida. Obviously lots of citrus plants. We had orange, lemon and grapefruit trees on my yard. But my neighbor had a “kumquat” tree. We ate them like no other but I had no idea where they were from until now. Thank you.
I love watching this video I may have watch it a hundred times. Looking forward to an update date. You can look into the natural history of Barbados 1760 you may find something there you can use
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with such a serene and beautiful manner. I was absolutely captivated and blown away at the same time. AMAZING.
As a child growing up in citrus central Florida and introduced to many custom one of a kind oranges and other citrus trees and fruits I have now come full circle! Thanks 👍
Thank you I really appreciate it! I really wish I could produce content faster. I've been working out of town and 60 plus hours a week for my job. I am working on other videos though (:
You just became one of my favorite channels to listen to while I work, and also provide so much beautiful information that I can use for my novels' worldbuilding, so thank you truly and never stop.
Really good job my friend. I had this tree in my backyard for years that had these terrifying giant thorns. This is in the state of Virginia. It took me years to figure out that it was some kind of obscure lime. It didn't produce all that much fruit and they were super sour and bitter, but definitely edible.
I got this video recommended after watching a couple of long food history videos and I would like to thank you for the work you put into all of this and the algorithm to show me this amazing video. I hope you’re doing well and I’m looking forward to whatever might come next.
This is so interesting and very well done! Even with all this information it makes me want to know even more. I really hope you do the citrus hybrids doc.
That was absolutely fantastic! I'd be really interested to hear more about the complexities and difficulties of citrus hybridisation. Can't believe how much effort went into this, love your work.
I am trained in evolutionary biology, and I have often wondered where modern varieties of citrus fruits come from without looking much further than India, China, and Indonesia. I am now aware of much that I did not know. I appreciate the repitition of names and radiations in your video as these things tend to lock in information for me. I would love a video on any evidence, biographical or physical ( as in coprolites, eg. ) on who ate these fruits before humans. For example, could elephants, mastodons, and early great apes have influenced adaptations of these fruits as well as climate change? One can always speculate, but has anyone done any peer reviewed studies on this? Just curious. And thank you. Ranger G.
An excellent video. There is so much research that was put in it. Such a nice way of presentation. Hats off brother. I wish to withness a similar video about the history and evolution of Mangoes!!
This is an amazing video. I can't imagine how much work and effort went into it. Although, watching this three years after it was posted makes me wonder if he's still working on TH-cam. If he is, i'm sure the video will be worth the wait.
What are the pollenators and what are the seed dispersers?! Thats would possibly help figure out how they spread.. what ate them and moved north or south?!
I love videos like this, going over the history of things people don't necessarily think about but are super interesting!!! I really hope you make more videos in the future
Excellent documentary! Citrus is one of my favorite fruit genuses and it was nice to learn more. I want to add one correction. The citron (at least the etrog variety) would have had to have been present in the Mediterranean (Afro-Asiatic Med.) long before Alexander the Great. Moses wrote that etrogs were to be used during Sukkot back in 1500 BCE. He grew up in Egypt, wandered in Arabia and what is now Jordan until he stopped short of crossing into Israel with the Jordanian mountains eclipsing what was then Canaan. Moses never left the Mediterranean/Near East so there must have been a presence of etrog citrons as early as 1500 BCE.
you did a wonderful job with this video and research! I love learning about plants that few people know the history of. I am surprised that how few people view this... for a fruit that everyone enjoys, it's history it's not well known. I did not know there was no Citrus native to the Americas. very interesting and informative thank you again... I was led here in my search for the origin of limes and got so much more!
This video is nothing short of fantastic: so much work in research, photography and samples make it both enjoyable and educational. Thank you so much for this presentation and the education. I have ADD but you maintained my complete attention from the beginning until the very end. Cheers, mate. Bravo!!
Bro dropped a video 7 years ago, 3 years ago, refused to elaborate, left
Awesome takeaway from the video, sounds as if what you learned, was to be a fly on the wall. Good job 👏
@@Iamthatiis What is your problem?
When will his next masterpiece drop, two years, three years? Who knows.
😂😂
I feel like these have to be videos made for class assignments
You didn’t have to go this hard on a documentary about citrus but you did, and for that I appreciate you
A fit of passion can make you do crazy things
@@anthroman7963 yeah. I want more videos like this
Yass❤
Frz...
... queen.
This is the best youtube video about citrus taxonomy I've ever seen.
A random fit of passion
@anthroman7963 and for that, I say thank you.
@@anthroman7963are you still making videos?? Great video by the way. Beautifully done. I was hoping there were other long videos. Be well my friend
You deserve more mate, best wishes to you and hope to see you in the future!
I can not believe how few people have seen this. Sooo much research and effort. My hats off to you dude.
Thanks man, really means a lot to see a comment like this. I have another video in the works
@@anthroman7963 looking forward to it

Didn't he say they (kumquat) have a common ancestor with Mandarin's

I hope we can see different citrus species here in near future!
You should look at some fruit and garden forums online! Maybe someone can gift you some seeds or cuttings? Hope you get whatever citrus you want!
3000 species and counting, we have an influx of species here in the EU for gardening and collecting, not in supermarkets though. I expect that the number of cultivated ones will rise from the usual mix of lemon mandarin and orange, already pomelos are pretty often to be found in supermarkets.
That sounds great. There a many nice hybrids too. I like that you consider new species for the market. Let me know if you succeded finding any. I love Yuzu myself. Different use than a lemon but so flavourful you can't even imagine
I would think if you introduced these foreign species to the market you would make a good profit. Hope it's going well :)
So, it takes 3 years for youtube to recommend me this video? This is an amazing content, hats off to the creators! shame on you youtube...
Thanks for going hard when you didn't need to. It's people like you who make the world a better place.

Thanks for this documentary. I didn’t have any idea that my country Australia was so important to citrus history
Thanks
I am stunned at the quality of this video! Hugely underrated as with your other videos too. Thankyou
This was so good. My teen son and I really enjoyed it! Your voice and knowledge level are wonderful
4:38 Thought it would be an ad read but he just keeps talking about citrus, legendary
Videos like this is what makes youtube great. Thank you! 😀
Wow! Great documentary!! Thanks so much for making
Just realized I'm not the only "Citrus Enthusiast".
thank you for this incredibly detailed and fascinating video ! ☆
Righteous selection my dude! Sometimes I lay awake at night thinking about where do citrus fruits originate
One of the best videos I've seen on youtube. Please make more.
As a collector, farmer, and fruitivour, I thank you
Awesome work young man thank you for your time and expertise!🙏🙏🙏
I love this!! I love citrus even more now!
Excellent coverage. Not that I will remember most of it but I had no idea how these “common” fruits had evolved or been purposefully crossed to create what we enjoy today. Thank you for your scholarly dive into this little known topic.
Looking forward to that next video, this one was highly informative and well reseached. Hats off to you sir.

Amazing work man! Looking foward to the next one
As an Australian I didn’t know we had native citrus species, then again they never farm our native fruits for some silly reason, I wish they did
Not too surprising. Australian food is like its culture. Not very appealing.
This video was so fascinating, and so well-researched, thanks for making it. I really hope you make more videos like this in the future, I find the evolution of different fruits so interesting.
There will be more but I cannot guarentee when!
Fantastic! Excellent, clear presentation with nice graphics and well-organized material. Loved it!
Damn I was super late to this, such a good vid
I hope you will continue making videos. I loved this one!
I’m glad I searched up this video , great content. +1 sub.
This is an epic documentary of citrus that certainly has given me pause for thought. Well done!
wow that was the best 50 minutes spent in the last few years i feel so well informed that i feel like i owe you a thank you very much.
Superb job! His calming, pleasant and gentle way of speaking makes this documentary even more worthwhile watching.
Yes at some point there will be more, life just gets in the way for now haha
Love this video. You explained everything from scratch but also took a deep dive into different aspects. Thank you :)
I am happy you enjoyed it! As someone with Adhd I try to make things easier to digest
This video is amazing. I've watched this a few times now. I also play to fall asleep to, because the narrator has such a soothing voice.

This was better than I expected. Although I was more interested in the history of the lemon, this showed possible origins of the citrus.
most excellent excellent narrator , was never boring well done.
I never thought I would be enthralled by 52 minutes of citrus taxonomy but here I am. Well done sir.
Really an amazing piece of work! And how unfortunate that there’s no videos after this 😢 all the best and thanks!

Very educational and informative. Thank you very much for your effort.
This is so interesting and very well done! Even with all this information it makes me want to know even more. I really hope you do the citrus hybrids doc.
A zesty and informative video - much appreciated.
Gotta have the zest
I really appreciate this. It’s fascinating. Nice work. I’ll be checking out all of your work. I love knowing about the “source”.
appreciated of your huge effort doing this research and documentary the video. this is awesome !!
Thanks! Yes it did take a lot of effort, I wanna do many more videos similar to this
That was absolutely fantastic! I'd be really interested to hear more about the complexities and difficulties of citrus hybridisation. Can't believe how much effort went into this, love your work.
Excellent documentary. I love citrus, I want to try them all before I die.
Do it!!!!
This deserves a lot more views keep up the good work.
Much appreciated!
This is really calming to watch. Thx man
This is just what I needed. I've been really interested in Citrus fruits for the past few weeks.
Fantastic stuff. Very thorough research you’ve conducted. It is easy to absorb information from your videos. Thank you
Fascinating..incredible depth.... I live in Australia and have always wondered how we ended up with Citrus here... Thank you
This was so well put together! Thanks so much! I would love to see, in history, the first uses of citrus as well.
BEST Video on this channel! Thank you so much! For such long time I was surching for this information. Very compact. Big thanks
Finger limes are farmed and easy to grow in coastal Queensland. We used to make marmalade from them.
Wonderfully researched and interesting video, watching now, it has been three years, can we get the hybrids video? ;)
❤
Crazy how much you had to research to make this video! Thank you for your work❤.
This was a great documentary, very well done! I thoroughly enjoyed learning from this.
I'm blown away by the lack of likes. This should go viral.

Well done! I have red just recently some similar papers about Cornus, Sorbus and Quercus genera. This is an interesting topic indeed.
Thanks! I would love to do a documentary similar to this on other plant species as well. I wish I had more free time for sure
This is the most hype video I've ever seen
What are the pollenators and what are the seed dispersers?! Thats would possibly help figure out how they spread.. what ate them and moved north or south?!
Im so sorry that this video isnt getting the views it deserves☹️ extremely underrated

My brain will get there and when it does, it will be relentless. Then prolly burn out but it will always be back.
I wonder where bergamot falls on the list
this is too cooooollllll!! i like to call this time citrus szn but ur documentary takes it to a whole other level!
nice work
Ah yes, the citrus rabbit hole.....great vid by the way.
