Conestoga Mini Citrange, also called Mini Conestoga, is Kumin’s miniature Conestoga selection, described with smaller leaves, flowers, and fruit, abundant fruit, and early fruiting after several years outdoors.[1]Reports from Kumin’s Pennsylvania trial place its hardiness close to, but below, Poncirus in his conditions. Fruit descriptions vary by stage and report, from poor or bitter to tart and not especially bitter when immature, so the flavor remains source-specific.[3][4]Its possible use as a strongly dwarfing rootstock remains a proposal, and the apparent nucellar reproduction has not been genetically confirmed.[2][1]
