Joe:
My Oroblanco is the mother host of my Dancy. It is just an experiment thinking that OB and pommelo are both in the same family so that they maybe compatible with mandarins. Because your clemenule do a superb growth in my Chandler pommelo. So I am testing a mandarin graft to a pomello family.
I also added a couple of seedless kishu (mandarin) in two branches.
I have an oroblanco tree that really perks up with nice new stem and foliage but it is only perhaps 3 feet tall. And thinking that pommelos has an unsweetened fruit in my area due to low tempt in Summer, so probably does OB's. So I am just using them as mother host.
Too bad because EZ's OBs are really taking off and very vigorous.
So I might not be able to taste that superb taste that EZ sampled for us.
But all is not lost. I have a sister who lives in Stockton that I will graft a bunch of EZ's OBs there.
What are your thoughts in my way of thinking?
