Narrative
This is a selection of RSD 20020013. Of 50 seeds of RSD 2002013, 24 germinated. ISSR markers revealed that all seedlings were unique and therefore zygotic (work performed by Prof Mikeal Roose, 2003). Retained 15 seedlings. The seedlings were observed on 10/30/2007 by Toni Siebert, David Karp, and myself. RSD 2002013 was observed to have missing or vestigial juice vesicles, which David stated has great significance to rabbis. RSD 2002013 also had a sweet rind. Although RSD 2002013 was referred to as a "sweet citron", its rind was actually less sweet than some of the others tasted. On 01/08/2009, a selection was made of two seedlings that were propagated to maintain under protection: RRUT 435 and RRUT 436. These trees were similar to other trees of RSD 2002013, having round, flat fruit with no juice. (RR Krueger, 02/28/2010)
