Notes and observations

No virus found in original import (routine Thermo 1546-17, 18) CRC 3275, rec'd 1960, also listed as C. hiroshimana. Should compare this accession with that one when fruit available.

1/18/1989, EMN: Only a few first year fruit, may all be late or off-bloom. Similar but smaller size than fruit on CRC 3275- Check again next year.

2/26/1990, EMN: This accession and CRC 3275 are NOT alike. If this one is true C, hiroshimana (and it should be), then CRC 3275 is probably a chance hybrid seedling. Fruit of this accession is medium-large pummelo sized; rind bright yellow with still some areas of medium green at this time, moderately rough & pebbled. Rind thick. Flesh white, sour, many seeds.
