CommentsTrees are not happy. Riverside climate and/or smog does not seem to be good for them (I don't like it either but I can move away some day), poor trees. Better to keep future propagations in the greenhouse or lathhouse here. No fruit. (EM Nauer, ca 1987)<P>Still no fruit. Trees looking a bit rattu as usual for this cultivar. (EM Nauer, 11/1989)<P><i>Citrus halimii</i> was published as a new <i>Citrus</i> species by Stone <i>et al</i> (1973) although, according to <a href="https://npgsweb.ars-grin.gov/gringlobal/cooperator.aspx?id=123779">Bill Bitters</a> (letter dated April 15, 1983 on file to <a href="https://npgsweb.ars-grin.gov/gringlobal/cooperator.aspx?id=15425">David Jones</a>) "No way can [Ben Stone] convince me that <i>C halimii</i> is a valid species". Indeed. There are currently 3 accessions of <i>Citrus halimii</i> maintained at Riverside: <a href="http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/acc/display.pl?1434132">PI 539196</a>, <a href="http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/acc/display.pl?1434133">PI 539197</a>, and <a href="http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/acc/display.pl?1500156">PI 600639</a>. Information on archival accession card states the source of PI 539196 as "Scora - Malaysia". However, Stone <i>et al</i> (1973), after listing locations of specimens examined, state "In 1971 Lowry and Scora visited the Genting Sempah tree...some seedlings have been grown at the Citrus Research Center, University of California, Riverside." Therefore, information from Stone <i>et al</i> (1973) has been incorporated into the Source information. PI 539197 and PI 600639, although donated at different times by different persons, are apparently from the same source. <P>SSR maker analysis, performed in the laboratory of <a href="http://www.plantbiology.ucr.edu/faculty/roose.html">Prof Mikeal Roose</a>, University of California, Riverside by summer intern Leonardo Lara indicated that all three accessions are genetically identical. A total of 12 trees from the 3 accessions were identical at all loci using 9 markers. This is interesting, as all are seedlings and <i>C halimii</i> is monoembryonic (Stone <i>et al</i>, 1973). I recall a number of years ago, somebody from Florida (possibly <a href="http://www.crec.ifas.ufl.edu/academics/faculty/gmitter/gmitter_fred_jr.shtml">Fred Gmitter</a>) called asking about this, as all their seedlings appeared to be identical. Indeed.<P>It therefore appears that all <i>C halimii</i> at Riverside are identical. As noted by Ed Nauer, it does not do well under our Riverside conditions. When planted in Irvine, the trees do somewhat better but are still sensitive to Southern California winter temperatures. They do, however, set fruit and seed.
