What's new at Woodlanders

Citrus 'Swingle', hardy citrumelo, ripe yellow fruit close-up.

What's new in the catalog

Citrus that stays out for the winter

The kumquats and the yuzu came off the September potting this week, and the mandarins that have carried this collection since the eighties are standing beside them. A dozen to choose from at the moment. Full sun, sharp drainage, and a south wall if you have one. They will forgive a great deal else.

For eating straight off the branch

For the kitchen, where they do their best work

Rind and all

For the marmalade pot

North of the citrus line

The trifoliate hybrids buy their zone 7 hardiness with a little sweetness, and ask you to add it back with sugar
