Rootstocks of accession: Carrizo citrange, C-35 citrange

Season of ripeness at Riverside: March to July

Notes and observations:

1987, EMN: Fruit of blood sport limb is coarser than normal Valencia fruit. Nearly seedless, number of red juice vesicles variable. Resembles double fina- says Moreira. This accession had seedling yellows, removed by thermotherapy.

2/26/1990, EMN: Only very slight scattered flecks of blood color in flesh.

4/26/1990, EMN: Still only very slight scattered flecks of blood color in flesh. Also little or no rind blush. This cultivar does not seem to have any promise other than as a curiosity.

Availability: Not commercially available in California.
