Notes and observations

Hybrid produced by UC Riverside citrus breeding program. Discarded from that program but retained at National Clonal Germplasm repository for Citrus at Riverside, Ca, as of possible interest as a breeding parent. Evaluation data not maintained within NPGS but possibly available from UCR breeders. This selection was JW Cameron's "Code 3". According to ML Roose, "Code 3" was generally missing from trials etc and so was probably discarded early on. Therefore, in MLR's opinion, this is of doubtful value. It should be considered for de-accessioning in the future. (RRK, 08/2006)
