Tom_GA reports tasting fruit supplied earlier in 2025 by Virginia Fruit Grower, describing its appearance and eating quality as like a decent Clementine and somewhat sour by comparison. Later same-thread posts 554825 and 554826 discuss a proposed Citemple × Clementine pedigree and a preference over ClemYuzu 2-2; the latter compares the same tasted sample, not another fruit. No numeric taste score, fruit size, Brix, growing location, or exact harvest date is reported.

Peep reports that his Dimicelli plant was monofoliate and had not fruited as of April 30, 2025. He questions the asserted 50% Poncirus pedigree and links an alternative Hardy Citrus account. Leaf form alone does not establish parentage or genetic percentages.

Perplexed reports a grafted Dimicelli with no damage at 12°F (-11.1111°C) and excellent dormancy; the post reports rootstock as “942.” The post is dated May 1, 2025, but does not specify the freeze date, duration, protection, plant age, thermometer placement, or trial location. Do not resolve “942” to US-942 without confirmation.

The directly linked blog entry presents alternative reported pedigrees: Clementine × Poncirus trifoliata, or one-half Clementine, one-quarter Temple and one-quarter Poncirus. It tentatively associates Dimicelli with CiClem #3 through personal correspondence and favors the second possibility from leaf form. These are unverified hypotheses, not genetic confirmation, a confirmed alias, or a measured ancestry percentage; seedling traits should not be attributed to the Dimicelli clone.

Summary from transcript: English native YouTube transcript reviewed 0:02–4:42 of this 4:47 video; the English caption-track designation is unspecified. At 3:12 the presenter identifies a Dimicelli as defoliated and “not looking great.” At 3:24 he says OP Nagami is pretty much the only thing looking okay over there. This is a visual report about one plant in a local walk-around after a site-wide freeze and snow. The transcript gives no tree-specific minimum, exposure duration, age, rootstock, or controlled cold-response result. The page describes several days below freezing and snow, and the presenter mentions site temperatures around 19°F and mid/upper teens; these are general site conditions, not measured exposure at this tree.
