0PI 539804Tavares limequatCitrus sp.RIV1957CultivarReceived cuttings from Mr. Maxwell. Budwood was taken from one of these cuttings and budded on C. taiwanica - CRC nursery [at CRC 12A-10-13]. (unknown CES personnel)

Pink flowers. (D. Cole, 1965-04-07)

This accession had seedling yellows which was removed by themotherapy (Thrrmo 1548-8). (E.M. Nauer, 1986)

Tavares limequat is discussed in The Citrus Industry, Vol I, pp 579-580. A more complete description is in the old (1943) Citrus Industry, p 668. (E.M. Nauer, ca 1987)

This is probably not Tavares; looks more like a lemonquat, or maybe even a small lemon or lemon hybrid without any quat at all. Fruit was compared with Eustis and the old C.I. description and does not fit at all. Fruit is larger than both Eustis and Lakeland, not oval, more spherical & somewhat flattened on both ends. (E.M. Nauer, 1987-11-09)

Flower buds are pink as described in both old & new C.I. editions. So maybe we really have Tavares, eh? Based on fruit, however, I still doubt it. (E.M. Nauer, 1988-03-08)

Molecular markers indicate not a kumquat hybrid. (M.L. Roose, 1995-02-21)

Since this was apparently not 'Tavares', a new accession, PI 654837, was acquired. (R.R. Krueger, 2020-08-30)

1PI 109702'Pink'Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merr. Jawa, IndonesiaRIV1929COLLECTED1925CultivarEspecially selected pink-fleshed shaddock. Plants growing at the United States Plant Introduction Garden...originally grown by the Office of Crop Physiology and Breeding...numbered in January 1935 for convenience in distributions. (information from original PI record)

Four cuttings received from CPB 1929 and 1930. Planted in lath house and balled out March 1932. Planted in Field S1, Block D, Row 24, Trees 9, 10, 11, 12. One tree on sweet from CES nursery planted field 1, ABC, Row 41, Tree 44, May 1931. (Un-dated archival record on file at NCGRCD/CVC)

Bitters/Brusca comments: Light crop. Smooth fruit. Obovatae with thick peel, green flesh. Moderate seed. Good taste. Not mature. A trace of pink in fruit from S1D-24-11, not in fruit from 24-12. (3/10/54, University of California archival material on file at NCGRCD/CVC)

This is a US Date Garden red-fleshed shaddock of good quality. Smooth fruit, obovate with thick peel, moderate seed; good taste, tart; flesh greenish-yellow with definite pink tinge; rind only medium-thick." (Anon, 1957, University of California archival material on file at NCGRCD and CVC)

Most fruit on ground. Flesh greenish-yellow with definite pink tinge; indicates this budline was derived from S1D-24-11 (see above). Rind is only medium,-sthick; flavor good, tart. (EM Nauer, 1/13/1988)

Note: This accession was previously associated with another PI (539359) that was mistakenly assigned, apparently without knowledge of this correct PI of 109702 (probably because PI was assigned after this was received at CES with only a CPB number). Note: Observation data was generated as PI 539359 and also appears in that record. (RRK, 02/2008)

To complete the planting record at UCR: trees were planted in 8A-13-2,3 on C taiwanica in 1961 (budsource: S1D-24-9); 7B-47-5,6 on Carrizo, Limoneira RL in 1966, 1969 (budsource: 8A-13-2); 12A-38-1,2 (Carrizo, C-35) in 1983 (budsource: 7B-47-6). This indicates that the current accession was derived from S1D-24-9 rather than S1D-24-11 as stated by Ed Nauer. S1D-24-9 is also indicated as the source in Bill Bitters's archival materials.
