Ralph and I collected some fruit of this plant, a trifoliate orange, otherwise known as hardy orange, and depending on who you ask, either <em>Poncirus trifoliata<\/em> or <em>Citrus trifoliata<\/em>. The former is more widely used but DNA evidence suggests the latter.<\/p>\n<p>From five small fruits, small pubescent (covered with fine soft short hairs) oranges, I collected 269 seeds. They will get one month cold stratification and then I&#8217;ll plant them. Obviously I won&#8217;t need 269 plants, so if you are interested in a very thorny shrub with inedible fruit, you will be more than welcome to a few. They would make a great hedge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had our annual outing to cut Christmas trees today but this picture isn&#8217;t of our Christmas tree or even of the Christmas tree farm.
