Cross Made
C. T. Kennedy’s transcription of Dr. John R. Brown’s notes says Brown produced an edible-fruited Temple Tangor × Poncirus trifoliata hybrid at Dr. William Bragg’s home in Houston during the 1960 season. Brown used Poncirus pollen exposed to 1,200 roentgens of X-radiation. The article later describes a CiTemple tree known as “Edible”; no accession is identified.

Brown is credited with making the 1960 Temple Tangor × Poncirus trifoliata cross. The source associates the named “Edible” selection with that cross but provides no accession number or propagation chain to modern material.
