Evo travinog ichangensisa. Lijepo napreduje i baca nove listove:

Osim ovog, uzeo sam s travinog stabla jos nekoliko grancica da ih pokusam zakorijeniti, no na zalost nije se nista primilo, iako sam svojedobno s lakocom zakorijenio neke agrume (limun lisbon).
Većina citrusa ima taj predlist.manji ili veći.Moj ichangensis ima puno veči list,vjerojatno su moguće i varijacije između jedinki.I neke gorke naranče imaju takav list-Što se tiče ploda ichangensis ima velike plodove,ko grejp,pune soka,koji se lako da iscijediti,ali su i puni dosta krupnih sjemenki.Stavljao sam slike na stranici Vrt g.Joska Kolege.http://www.flickr.com/photos/67858843@N03/
Pri dnu stranice,to su oni okrugli plodovi,na jednoj slici su 2,a na jednoj 4 ploda.Oni plodovi malo plosnati su Natsumikan
@ trava, da li misliš da je tvoj ichangensis (i oni koji rastu u vrtu g. Kolege) Citrus ichangensis (Ichang papeda) ili Ichang Lemon (Citrus ichangensis x Citrus maxima) - hibrid Ichang papede i pomela? Budući da si naveo da su plodovi puni soka, pretpostavljam da se radi o Ichang lemonu, čija je otpornost na hladnoću ipak osjetno manja nego kod Citrus ichangensisa (I. papede).
Naime, prema podacima koji se mogu naći na internetu, osnovna razlika između I. papede i I. lemona je u plodu i u otpornosti na hladnoću. Plod papede je manji i sadrži vrlo malo soka, dok je plod I. lemona veći i sadrži dosta soka (navodno vrlo dobre kvalitete). Otpornost I. papede je do -15 C, što ga čini jednim od najotpornijih citrusa, dok se za otpornost I. lemona navodi najčešće 10 F (-12 C);
Ichang papeda:http://exoticfruitplants.eu/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=106Citrus 'ichangensis' Swingle originates in China - Hubei, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, but there is also a Californian form.
It is a small, not too vigorous shrub very resistant to drought.
This cultivar is also considerably cold and frost hardy.
It is said to survive winters as cold as -14°C in China and belongs to the northernmost growing citruses of all. It is successfully cultivated in central Great Britain and I can confirm that it survived -10°C for the duration of 3 hours without any problems.
Fruit of citrus 'ichangensis' Swingle is small (3-5cm), elliptic, probably as big as that of poncirus trifoliate and has a small nipple with a round ridge. The rind is typically yellow-green, pebbled, quite thick, holds well to the pulp and has lots of essential oils.
Yellow-white pulp is very soft, inedible and not very juicy, but contains essential oils. It is often divided into 8 segments full of monoembryonic seeds that have excellent germination ratio.
Ichang lemon:http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=20544.0Ichang Lemon is an Ichang papeda crossed with a pummelo (Citrus ichangensis x Citrus maxima). It originated in China, where it is called Shanguan, which means "fragrant ball". This very vigorous and spreading tree is quite ornamental, resembling a grapefruit tree with large wide leaves with a flared petiole.
It produces clusters of large bumpy seedy yellow grapefruit like fruits, which can be used like lemons. The fruit is extremely juicy with each one producing as much as a half cup of juice. When over ripe, it tastes like grapefruit and is quite edible with a little sugar.
The Ichang lemon is very hardy, enduring temperatures down to 10F and below with no permanent damage as long as it is protected from the wind. Uses: Eating, Cooking, Juice.- Silica
http://hardycitrus.blogspot.hr/2013/12/ichang-lemon.html?m=1Ichang Lemon is remarkably cold tolerant considering it's Pummelo parent.
Ichang lemon is a cross from China of Citrus ichangensis and C. grandis, the pummelo. It is also called Shangjuan, which means “fragrant ball” in Chinese, it is a heavy bearer of yellow grapefruit sized fruit. It has rough skinned fruit with many seeds.
Each fruit can yield up to ½ cup of juice, used fresh or for cooking and desserts... Some think the juice makes a better flavored pie than lemons. Claims for hardiness vary. It is considered hardy down to 5°F, -15°C to 10°F, -12°C[1] Others say 10 degrees [2] or 20 [3]
It should not be hardier than Ichang papeda parent ...
I po slikama dostupnim na netu se može vidjeti razlika u "sočnosti" ploda:

how to take a screen shotNadao sam se da ću u svojoj klimi moći uspješno više godina uzgajati citrus s lijepim plodovima koji su ujedno jestivi, no izgleda da to ipak nije tako, jer je otpornost od -12 C kod mene krajnje rubna, odnosno nedovoljna, budući da se takva zima u Drnišu pojavi u prosjeku svake 3 do 4 godine.
