Iwamasa’s 1988 diagram identifies Kuno as a nucellar-seedling selection of Nagahashi, itself derived from Owari. This historical cultivar path does not establish that UCR CRC 4030 is the same selection.^⁠[4]

UCR identifies its Kuno Wase entry as CRC 4030 / PI 600666 / VI 555, says budwood was received from New Zealand via A. Harty, records parents unknown, and reports October–December ripening at Riverside. The page gives no receipt year; this accession record does not establish that CRC 4030 is the historical Kuno selection shown in Iwamasa’s diagram.^⁠[1]^⁠[4]

UC ANR places Kuno Wase in the CCPP “Seedless Varieties” table column, defined in the article as seedless with only an occasional seed regardless of planting location. This is a program classification, not a counted fruit sample or an accession-specific seed test.^⁠[3]

A Croatian commercial-orchard study reports an aroma-volatile profile for its Kuno sample; 30 fruits per cultivar were collected from 8–10-year-old trees grafted on Poncirus trifoliata in autumn 2022. The study does not identify the Kuno clone or accession, and its analytical profile is not a sensory rating.^⁠[2]

An OregonLive article reproduces One Green World nursery copy describing Kuno Wase as early-ripening, bright orange, sweet and flavorful, and easy to peel, and advertising hardiness to 25°F. These are attributed nursery statements, not scored taste or measured cold exposure; the article identifies no accession, site, rootstock, exposure duration, measured minimum, or damage outcome.^⁠[5]
