Notes
This citrangequat is of the same parentage as Telfair and was first fruited at Thomasville, Georgia. The cross was made in 1909, and the variety was named and described in 1923 (Swingle and Robinson, 1923, p. 230).
Fruit medium-small, globose to oval; color yellow to orange-yellow; acid until fully mature when it becomes edible; somewhat seedy.
Tree very vigorous, upright, thorny; leaves variable but mainly trifoliolate.
Often used as a cold-hardy lime substitute.
