Eremorange

Todolí identifies accession TCF-315 as “Glaucous Orange - Eremorange” and describes Eremorange as a natural Citrus glauca × sweet orange hybrid selected in Australia. The account does not give a selection date, selector, parental accessions or cross direction.^⁠[1]

Collection and gardening descriptions characterize Eremorange fruit as small and round, with yellow-orange aromatic peel and granular, juicy pulp made up of small yellow vesicles; Todolí reports early ripening while Binette gives September–October. In one Agrumes-Passion post, a grower described a single small, unripe fruit as strongly acidic “for now”; that report is not a mature-fruit taste profile.^{⁠[1]⁠[2]⁠[4]}

Todolí describes a vigorous, upright, productive tree, while Binette describes a dense, small bush with thorny branches and narrow aromatic leaves. A North Carolina grower also reports slender leaves, thorns and a trifoliate rootstock; a separate greenhouse water sprout was estimated at 4–4.5 feet after about a month. These are distinct collection, article and grower descriptions, not a standardized growth comparison.^{⁠[1]⁠[2]⁠[6]}

Cold reports vary with site and exposure. One unprotected North Carolina tree reportedly passed through one or two nights around 14–15°F with limited leaf and tip injury; another video from the same grower reports slight twig sunburn but no twig dieback without giving a minimum. A short French report shows ice-covered foliage after roughly −4 to −5°C but gives no outcome. User-supplied translated forum excerpts separately report an unheated-greenhouse tree without damage at −9.1 and −9.8°C, an unprotected tree with mostly brown leaves after ten days of continuous frost reaching −11.2°C, and a nursery’s −14°C/five-days-without-thaw claim whose limit was not tested. These accounts do not establish a universal hardiness threshold.^{⁠[5]⁠[6]⁠[7]⁠[8]}
