Remo Citrange

The Remo citrange (Citrus sinensis × Poncirus trifoliata ‘Remo’) is a hybrid between the orange tree and Poncirus trifoliata, selected for its maximum hardiness of 5°F (−15°C) on the tree, making it growable in the ground as far as USDA zone 7b. The vigorous tree reaches 10 to 16 ft (3 to 5 m) with an upright, semi-thorny habit, semi-evergreen trifoliate foliage inherited from Poncirus, and white spring flowers. Its yellow-orange fruit, small in size (0.7 to 1.1 oz, or 20 to 30 g according to the Vessières catalog), with thick skin, ripens in September according to the Vessières catalog and holds a markedly acidic, orange-scented juice, acceptable in blended juice, in marmalade, or as a cocktail base. A few seeds. The Remo citrange belongs to the lineage of historic citranges used both as a supplementary citrus and as a rootstock in regions with continental winters. Graft onto pure Poncirus trifoliata, plant against a south-facing wall, well-drained soil.

Yuzu N3

Yuzu N3 (Citrus junos ‘N3’) is a vigorous seasoning citrus, sought after for its floral zest and very fragrant juice. To prepare for growing it, cautiously adopt a benchmark close to 5°F (−15°C) on a mature, well-established tree subjected to a brief frost, rather than a guarantee of survival at a precise temperature. The tree generally reaches 10 to 13 ft (3 to 4 m). Its very sour fruit, rich in seeds and relatively low in juice, are harvested from October to December and are used mainly for the zest, the juice, and preserves.
