 MK>> Do you, and if so are they all orange?

 CS> Mostly!  Some are green and meant to be that way.

MK> Another confirmation about green oranges.  That makes at least three p

Yup!  But then i am slightly mixing citrus plants sometimes too.  There
really ¨is a green skinned 'orange'.  It tastes more 'citrus' and needs a
little sugar ¨added to balance the acid but makes better juice and cooks
really well in ¨things.  Then again, with the advent of better shipping,
people seldom really ¨cook that way anymore.

The green orange of my youth in Miami, is not too far off the taste of the
¨Calamansi of the Philippines (which come also in orange, yellow, and green
¨with the green ripe type being the most popular).

The vibrant color appeal of the 'orange oranges' made them more popular but
the ¨mottled green with bits of yellow and perhaps a hint of orange, are
more native ¨and far more hardy.  Maurice, they grow on their own inthe
wild there .


 MK>> Thanks again as I really learned a bunch from that experience.

 CS> ;-)  No problem!  I see you spread the wealth around well too!

MK> I try.  One of these days ... or die trying.  Someone has to pick up t
MK> slack since you abandoned us, right?  Speaking of which how are things

Not too good.  Demising zone6 probably come june.  Seems no contacts remain
¨anymore. I'll be moving the last of it to Z3.
