Great news, JT.

Compatriot Patrina sent me three seedlings two years back. The first to fruit, the orange, is a C. Baccatum. Then there is this C. Chinense.

Just curious, but is there a noticeable difference in flavour between the two?

Now I'm betting, knowing our Patrina, that the third one, that's unfortunately fighting for light, is a C. Pub. (I think it's spelt something like Pubescence lol but can't remember).

I do recall laughing at the label, now long faded away, because it said something like pubescence.
