This accession came from a tree in field 21D that was pencilled in on the 21D record without any notation of CRC number, rootstock, or planting date. Probably no CRC number had ever been asssigned, so No 3819 was assigned about 1981. This accession had exocortis which was removed by shoot tip grafting (STG 208-7). (EM Nauer, ca 1986) Foliage and growth habit indicate this is probably pure citron. Medium size, flattened, highly fluted, yellow fruit. Mod thick rind; seedy; large pithy core; flesh light yellow, sour. (EM Nauer, 01/14/1988)
This appears to be a common seedling citron. Dr Bitters says we already have too many seedling citrons in the collection, and I certainly can't disagree with that astute assessment. Let's dump this one. (EM Nauer, 03/10/1988)
A common citron of unknown origin - we have too many nondescript citrons. (EM Nauer, 10/1988)
This accession was received at an unknown time by an unknown source in an unknown form. Plus, this accession has to be repropagated all the time so it has inconvenienced my life. (TJ Siebert, 02/06/2011)
This was finally inactivated. Hope everyone is happy. Note: Received date reflects date CRC number was assigned. Actual date of receipt at CES unknown. Incorporated into NCGRCD at establishment in 1988. (RR Krueger, 05/16/2011)
