Four-page UF/IFAS Extension publication HS-801 (April 2001). Its discussion of Florida rootstock use names Murcott among scions with incompatibility concerns on Swingle citrumelo. This is a reported graft-combination issue; the publication does not establish a general disease susceptibility or a result for every Murcott accession/rootstock combination.

Post #68 describes an informal family tasting of supermarket citrus purchased the prior week. The author characterizes the Murcott sample as having a layered tangor-like flavor and clementine-like appearance; the store, lot and fruit count are unspecified. Taste-intensity comparisons in the post are not converted to scores or categories.

Skeeter's post dated Wednesday, January 20, 2010, 11:46 am, in “So Cal Fruit Snackworthy Ranking from my yard.” The poster profile lists Pensacola, Florida, zone 9. Skeeter says Daisy won top place in their yard that year and would put Ponkan third behind the few Murcotts they had, while noting the unusually large Ponkan crop may have affected the comparison. Informal personal seasonal ranking only; fruit count, tree/rootstock identity, harvest date, and sample method are not stated.
