First-person growing notes compare Glen Citrangedin’s growth, reported cold hardiness, and flavor with Thomasville and Calamondin; site, accession, exposure details, harvest date, and tasting protocol are not given. The post also quotes a historical breeding account; that quotation is secondary evidence, with the original Circular 181 as the primary source.

Primary source: the Circular’s Glen Citrangedin account and plate 9 (printed pp. 13–15) report Calamondin as seed parent pollinated by Willits citrange pollen, a spring 1909 cross at Glen St. Mary, Florida, and the cultivar’s historical description and naming. Use its original wording for event and variety-level claims; it does not establish the identity or performance of later individual plants.

Primary FSHS article (volume 44, pp. 110–115; Glen discussion at printed p. 112) describes an upright tree, occasional trifoliate leaves, and small Calamondin-like fruit recommended for ade. It also reports winter performance in southern Georgia, where 10°F is occasionally encountered. No dated exposure, duration, protection, or damage details are specified, so 10°F is regional context rather than a recorded minimum or survival threshold.

Summary from transcript: The video presents a Glen Citrangedin tasting using fruit the presenter says was supplied by Virginia Fruit Grower. The speaker reports an approximate 18 g average weight (spoken individual weights 16–22 g), 13.5 °Brix, and pH 2.8, and describes sour-orange/orange-soda flavor, little flesh bitterness, and an average of 2–3 seeds. The sample had been stored and was partly overripe; fruit count, harvest/storage dates, growing location, and measurement methods are not fully specified.

Full thread reviewed. Post #1 reports two supplied fruits with rubber/baby-wipe aroma and an inedible impression, but explicitly says the poster cannot be sure they were true-to-type because seed-grown plants may have reverted. Post #10 describes a separate November fruit from an Eyeckr-seed plant at Nikitsky Botanical Garden, Crimea, received as a New Year gift and dry inside, which Ilya11 described as having a good sugar-acid balance with no bitter taste/off-flavors. Neither report establishes true-to-type identity; post #13 reproduces Circular 181 and is not independent evidence.

Opening post only reviewed. The author gives a personal opinion that Glen Citrangedin produces acceptable fruit and says they prefer Glen to Sinton Citrangequat. No specific Glen sample, location, accession, harvest date, rootstock or tasting method is reported; linked genetic discussion is not a Glen-specific result.

Individual scorecard image for Glen Citrangedin. The printed preference ratings are sweetness 7/10, sourness 2/10 and bitterness 9/10; the linked fruit reference preserves these original ratings alongside catalog numeric scores. Sweetness is stored as printed; sourness and bitterness use 10 minus the printed score. Any Brix or pH printed on the card is a separate reading, not derived from ratings. Sample method and harvest date are not stated unless noted in the reference.

On page 2, Eyeckr compares Glen Citrangedin fruit with calamondin, describing it as more sour, without calamondin's pleasant scent or sweet peel, and deep orange bordering red. This is one grower's qualitative comparison; the post gives no fruit count, harvest date, location-specific growing context, or tasting method for the Glen fruit. No sweetness/sourness intensity score is supplied.
