Nursery contributed plant descriptions

These are seedlings raised from Langhammer's tree, all show varying degrees of contortion. out of the hundreds of seedlings in this batch there were 12 nearly identical incredibly tiny genetic dwarfs. We plan to introduce these twelve clones in a few years if we manage to propagate them. We suspect some of their siblings may carry this gene as a recessive and urge you to grow a few and criss cross them. I suspect Hammer would send pollen if you want to do a back cross. We also selected a single variegated seedling for future introduction Poncirus can be sheared into tall impenetrable hedges so tough you can actually walk on top of them I see a great wall of citrus, complete with gun turrets to protect against marauding deer.
