Cold hardy to 28F/-2C, can be grown in a pot. Fruits 4-5 yrs from seed.
It’s the fruit that makes it so special. The peel is very sweet and chewy and the fruit inside balances it with a nice tartness. And bc you eat fruit+peel, it’s very nutritious.
I sell seedlings for $15 plus shipping available in early spring. Open to reservations now.
The peel comes away from the fruit easily and the fruit is sectional/easy to pull apart like a mandarin. The taste of the fruit is like a tart orange but the pith has sugar in it so it’s not completely sour. The peel is very sweet. Sometimes the fruit is seedless, but no more than 2 seeds per fruit.
Llevo tiempo pensando en agregar algún árbol de hoja caduca para que nutra los suelos. Pero todos parecen bastante delicados y requieren de cierta agua.
¿Conocéis algún arbol caducó resistente a sequias y que sea autóctono?
Mine is a female tree but birds and squirrels eat most of the berries. The berries are awful, chemical tasting. 2 cycles of cold stratification needed to germinate seeds. Flowers smell faintly like honeysuckle with a little jasmine. Dried, they smell like floral fresh hay.
Caprichos de la naturaleza. Un árbol creciendo dentro de un árbol.
El viejo olmo que se halla frente a la iglesia de Campo de Cuéllar (Segovia) ya está seco y hueco, pero llama la atención otro tronco que hay en su interior. Puede que fuese plantado, pero no deja de ser curioso. #CampoDeCuellar#Segovia#curiosidad#cyl#arbol#olmo#pueblo
