This secondary account reports a CiTemple × Ichang × Minneola pedigree and describes the attribution to John R. Brown as probable rather than certain. It does not establish the identity or parentage of the current M.I.C. clone.

ParkerTurtle believes a seedling came from M.I.C. and reports its possible pedigree as [CiTemple Edible × Ichang Papeda] × Minneola. This is the grower's belief; the seedling is not verified as the same clone as catalog M.I.C., and the pedigree is unconfirmed.

Michael’s April 17, 2012 forum post relays a Winter issue article in Southeastern Palms, the magazine of the South Eastern Palm Society, naming Keith Endres, Tom McClendon and Ned Rahn. The post says the article described M.I.C. as a complex hybrid created by Dr. John Brown in Texas and gave a survival estimate of around 15°F. The magazine article itself was not accessed; this is a relayed report, not a firsthand observation. The post gives no exact cross, accession, or conditions behind the estimate.
