| Description: Buddha's Hand citron is a tree citrus with a deep lemon yellow colour when mature. The fruit morphs from small and purple, to green, and then yellow, splitting at the opposite end of the tree's stem forming segments that have a wild finger-like appearance. A fruit will have its own unique shape and can range in size, from a large lemon to a small melon. Buddha's Hand citron features an oily rind with a fragrant sweet lemon scent. Its flesh is void of juice, pulp, and seeds, and is inedible in its raw form. Buddha's Hand citron is commonly utilized for its zest and has a flavour that is described as a blend of bitter and sweet acidity. Harvest in late fall through early winter months. 10th century AD. | ||

If it is allowed to mature on the tree it loses some of its typical flavour and becomes less juicy. This is the Key lime of food recipes. Both the juice and the rind oil of Mexican lime have an inimitable and unique lime flavour. | ||

| Description: C. Limetta. Fruits are oval and green, ripening to yellow, with greenish pulp. The pith is white and about 5mm (0.20") thick. Despite the name sweet lime, the fruit is more similar to a greenish orange in appearance. As the name sweet lime suggests, the flavour is sweet and mild, but retains the essence of lime. The lime's taste changes rapidly in contact with air, and will turn bitter in a few minutes, but if drunk soon after being juiced, the taste is sweet. The flavour is a bit flatter than most citrus due to its lack of acidity. It can be compared to limeade and pomelo. | ||

| Prop. Method: Grafted | Fertility: Self, better with second variety | Chill Hours Required: 100 hrs below 10'C (50'F) |
| Description: Virtually seedless, medium-large, somewhat oblong fruit of excellent quality and medium-late maturity. Since it ripens earlier than Valencia and does not fruit in clusters to the same degree, it is probably best considered a variety. The tree is moderately vigorous and upright-growing, leaf shape is large and almost grapefruit-like. Bears similar yields to Valencias of same size (not age). At first sight does not appear to carry a good crop but this is the result of the large fruit size. In South Africa the Midknight produces fruit of excellent size (mainly 70-85 mm), good round shape (sometimes very slight shoulder) and very smooth rind texture. Excellent internal quality with high juice percentages and TSS levels. Seedless as Delta but has slightly tougher rag; can also be difficult to peel. Matures at same time as most Valencias. 1930's | ||

| Description: Washington navel orange is also known as the Bahia for the Brazilian city from which it was imported into the United States in 1870.

The fruit are harvested only at the green stage and are served in cut halves as a garnish. Sudachi trees tend to have a spreading habit of moderate vigour, but can be considered a small- to medium-sized tree, as 26-year-old trees on C-35 cit-range root-stocks are only approximately 8 feet tall. Thorns up to 5 mm in length are present in each leaf axil. Leaves are elliptical in shape, with a small-winged petiole. The tree canopy has dense branching. 1961 | ||

| Description: Has a bark condition resembling psoriasis. This condition is apparently characteristic of the New Zealand 'grapefruit', The earliest description of record, given in a New South Wales nursery catalogue of 1820, indicates that the original introduction might have been a Shaddock (pummelo); hence, the possibility exists that Poorman is of Australian origin. A seedy, orange-fleshed fruit that matures slightly earlier than grapefruit because of its lower acidity. The fruit and tree are very similar to grapefruit, but it is probably a pummelo hybrid or a natural tangelo. This is also suggested by the monoembryony of the seeds (they will not grow true to type). The fruit has some resemblance to the Attani of India and the Natsudaidai and Asahikun of Japan. Orange flesh, sweet-tart; seedy; coarse rind, prominent pores. | ||

| Description: The origin of the Tahiti or Persian lime is unknown, and its history is obscure. The name arises from the fact that this type of lime was introduced from Tahiti sometime during 1850 to 1880. As the Persian lime, it was introduced into Australia as early as 1824, possibly from Brazil. The origin of the name Persian is unknown, however, although it seems likely that this fruit came to the Mediterranean area via Persia as did the citron. Fruit medium-small (like small lemon), oval, faintly furrowed. Seeds are lacking. Rind thin; surface smooth, tightly adherent. Segments about 10; axis small and usually solid. Flesh colour pale greenish-yellow; tender, juicy; very acid and with true lime flavour. Somewhat everbearing, mainly in winter. Vigorous, broad-spreading, drooping, medium to medium-large, nearly thornless; foliage dense green. Flower buds and flowers medium in size and flowering occurs throughout year, mainly in spring. Purple coloration usually faint and evanescent in both flowers and shoots. Fully as cold-resistant as the true lemons. | ||

| Description: A single seed from a deep red coloured fruit collected in Ventura County. Fruit somewhat over-mature looks like a blood orange, including an indentation at stylar end. The tree is a vigorous grower and carries good crops of fruit. The fruit is of good size and flavour and is very low-seeded. Flesh is heavily pigmented with anthocyanin. Although the fruit is mature in late winter, it holds well into late spring, well past the season for conventional blood oranges. Typically larger than Moro; somewhat variable shape; globose to ovoid with a depressed base, possibly due to juvenility; rind frequently heavily blushed, texture more pebbled than Moro or Tarocco; flesh deeply pigmented by anthocyanin, less tender than Tarocco; flavour very good, sweeter than Moro. 1998 | ||

One of the oldest and now rarest Italian light blood oranges. Tarocco is a medium-sized, vigorous, moderately productive tree. Tarocco fruit have a typical, slightly ovate shape. The fruit are bottom heavy and the shape tapers towards the top, which can have a pointed collar. The rind is medium thick but easily peelable. The lightly pigmented flesh is soft and finely textured. The flavour is rich and fragrant and has a good balance of acidity and sugar. Tarocco is considered one of the best blood orange varieties and some say it is one of the most delicious sweet orange varieties in general. | ||

The quality of the fruit is also excellent. The distinctive colour requires a chilly winter to develop properly. Tarocco #7 is one of the most delicious blood orange varieties, although the rind of this blood orange gets very little to no coloration at all. 1967 | ||

| Description: Don't let its unassuming exterior fool you, because this mottled green citrus is truly delectable. Its size rivals that of a grapefruit, with a milder, much sweeter taste, fibrous sections inside and a slight protrusion at the base that looks like an "outie" navel. The Ugli fruit, however, was purportedly discovered in a Jamaican pasture in 1917. Now believed to be a natural cross between a mandarin orange and a grapefruit. | ||
