Thank you! So much appreciation for the thought and depth of this data all in one place! This was something like 1.5+ years of time carefully categorizing various cold-hardy citrus, tracking down varieties you don’t grow, growing thousands of cold-hardy seedlings to learn about them all, and racking up some deep knowledge from every possible source to be more successful in marginal growing zones. Even if some categories are subjective, you’ve really been diligent in your scrutiny to try and acknowledge the best benefits of each variety in a logical numeric way.
Thanks Ian! I really appreciate it. I can only imagine what kind of data we’ll have to work with in the future as we continue adding more and more varieties to our trials. It’s hard to avoid subjectivity and/or bias when evaluating hardy citrus, but we tried our best to give honest and accurate categorizations of these fruit.
