Narrative
"... I just harvested tiny seeds of a plant called Fortunella hindsii Prostratus, has different type of leaves, grows somewhat horizontally, and came from the late Dr. Frey in Switzerland. He was a famous 'citrologist' until his death with 92 years in 2000. He received seeds of this plant about 50 years ago from a Japanese Citrologist. Tiny fruits are about 'pea-size'". (donor's email of 2002-01-17) This introduction may be slightly different than older accessions of F hindsii, but it does not appear to grow in a prostrate manner. Of course, this might be because we have trained it up a stake in the greenhouse. We shall see how it behaves when planted without restraints in the field. (RR Krueger, 05/2004)
