Ichangquat 6-7-2

Grower reports describe Ichang papeda × Nagami parentage and Voss distribution of 6-7-2. Ilya suggested his Voss-derived plant might be F2 because it was raised from Florida seed; this remains an unverified hypothesis. The reports do not establish its breeding generation or authenticate it as the original selection. One account gives a 2003 purchase date for a grafted seedling; a separate archive account implies approximately 2001. The difference remains unresolved, including whether both accounts describe the same plant.^{⁠[1]⁠[3]⁠[4]}

At a garden about 40 km south of Paris, the grower reported yellow fruit and crop-dependent juiciness. In 2011, 30 open-pollinated fruits had one developed seed; four fruits from attempted Thomasville pollination contained eight seeds. Those seeds had abnormal, very small embryos, and none had germinated by the report date. One open-pollinated seed produced two seedlings considered probably nucellar by the grower, a status that was not confirmed. A separate excerpt attributed to Ilya reports fruit from May blossoms good by late August and fruit from the main late-July bloom ripe by November. He preferred fully ripe, readily detached fruit; juice was usually moderate, though drought left some fruit dry and barely edible. He described a feijoa-like, pine-noted rind and mild bitterness when eating the fruit with its skin. That excerpt does not identify a location, so its account is not assigned to the Paris garden.^⁠[3]⁠[4]

The grower reported no observed plant damage after nearly three weeks of frozen ground without snow, with a minimum of −13.5°C. A January 2010 local reading near −15.8°C coincided with browning of unprotected upper leaves; recovery was not reported. A separate compiled list gives −18°C as an estimate, not observed survival. Reports of small-fruit freezing near −6°C and immature-fruit damage near −9°C describe fruit injury, not plant hardiness limits.^{⁠[1]⁠[2]⁠[3]}
