Directly retrieved 2026-09-21. CRC 4047 accession account: reported sister nucellar seedling to Okitsu Wase; Riverside season October–December; reproduces a 1967 comparative description and provides accession-specific fruit-evaluation tables. It does not substantiate the catalog's 1940/Poncirus origin claim.

Directly retrieved public Discourse thread. Post #1 is a first-hand greenhouse-tree report; posts #3 and #5 repeat the same grower's flavour preference and comparison, not an independent fruit sample. Rootstock, location, harvest/tasting date, and measurements are unstated.

Directly retrieved official JIRCAS-hosted article. Page 17 describes three sister nucellar Miyagawa-Wase seedlings from 1940 controlled pollination with trifoliate orange, selected in 1949; names Miho-Wase and Okitsu-Wase as 1963 registrations. The pollination context is not genetic parentage of a nucellar seedling.

Summary from transcript: English auto-generated captions recovered 0:00–1:21 of a 1:26 video. A first-hand Zone 8A in-ground tree account: three years in ground; personal growth and cover-practice descriptions. The speaker's prospective coverage decisions and cold-hardiness characterisation are not a measured cold limit or cultivar-wide result.

Summary from transcript: English auto-generated captions recovered 0:00–2:24 of a 2:30 video. First-hand farm/grower presentation of an unstated-location Miho Satsuma tree. It provides subjective crop, peelability, juiciness, seediness, early-season, and taste wording; it provides no harvest date, rootstock, tree age, fruit count, weight, Brix, pH, or titratable acidity.

Summary from transcript: English auto-generated captions recovered 0:00–2:21 of a 2:33 video. A first-hand report of a protected in-ground Miho Satsuma in the speaker's Zone 8A area: reported outdoor cold duration, covers/layers, C9 incandescent lights, and water buckets; estimated about 90% leaf retention, with possible later leaf drop. Plant-level temperature, location, rootstock, and tree age are unstated. This is not an unprotected hardiness result; no cold-minimum or freezing-hours metric is supported.

UGA Circular 1352 compares 12 early-maturing satsumas with Owari across southern Georgia. Each cultivar was sampled at 1–5 sites; five fruit per variety and site were juiced at late September and mid-October in 2022 and 2023, with the same sites both years. Values are multi-year means. Rootstocks included Poncirus trifoliata, ‘Rubidoux,’ and trifoliate hybrids, but cultivar-specific assignments are not stated. TSS/Brix and titratable acidity are chemical measurements, not pH or sensory scores. The publication does not identify a matching CRC accession.

The CCPP availability table on printed p. 4 lists this cultivar in its “Seedless Varieties” column. The table defines “seedless” as allowing only an occasional seed, regardless of planting location. This is a collection availability classification, not a counted sample, accession-specific trial, or observation of the catalog's plant.

The article’s “ONE GREEN WORLD FAVORITES” block says descriptions are from OneGreenWorld.com. Its Miho Wase profile calls it exceptionally hardy, says older trees have endured temperatures in the high teens without damage, and describes early crops of sweet, thin-skinned, easy-peeling fruit. No site, dates, duration, instrumentation, rootstock or tree-age definition is given; this is an attributed nursery report, not a controlled result.

The CRC 3820 profile describes the 1940 controlled pollination of Miyagawa Wase with trifoliate orange and the resulting nucellar Okitsu Wase seedling. This is cited only for the shared experiment context; it does not independently identify Miho Wase or establish Miho’s accession history.
