There is probably no way that I would/could ship this tree. Even after trimming, it is still 7' tall and 4' wide. I do have some small plants I started from cuttings and I will be more than happy to sell them if you want them. They are probably 2' tall plants. They are in 1 gal. pots and I would think they are well-rooted.

Why don't we wait and let me cut one of those fruits when I think/guess it is ripe? I don't know what this plant is but I would assume that a taste-test will tell the tale.

By the way, if it is worth my time, I would be glad to take cuttings, root them over the fall/winter in my greenhouse, and then will have more available. I just don't know that there is a market for what I have. I think that this tree is completely disease-free. It sure looks completely healthy. But, as you can tell, I know nothing about citrus per se. I just know what healthy plants look like.

Sounds like a plan.
If it is an Etrog Citron, check with any of your Jewish Friends...they would LOVE to have some of the fruit for the festival of Sukkot.

It look like Etrog (Citrus medica L.) http://www.citrusvariety.ucr.e...

We grow them here @ http://www.paradisenursery.com so I'm pretty familiar with them. The link above has photos of the fruit cut open to compare.

I do think that my Citron are the Etrog Citron as you suggest, @paradisenursery. I now have a half dozen rooted cuttings that are doing well. They will soon have to be moved from 1 gal. pots into 3 gal. pots.

By the way, is the Etrog and same as the Corsican, because 'Corsican' is what I have these labeled as?
