Default Re: Growing Citrus

When the ACP program started, I inquired with my inspector and then the local program director if the Casimiroa should be on the list. They checked and reported the negative result in the Florida program. The 2012 list from CA represents updated studies done by the Citrus research program. I'll check with them to see if Casimiroa was tested again.

Some readers might be unaware: Casimiroa (White Sapote) is a western Hemisphere member of the Rutaceae (Citrus) family in the Linnean taxonomy system. However, in genetic classification they are placed in different subfamilies (Toddalioideae vs. Aurantioideae).
