Thank you Daisy. I am sure that the person who propagated this tree (and told me it was grown from seed -while the Meyer Lemon trees were propagated from cuttings) knows the difference between a monoembryonic and a polyembryonic seed. He owns a nursery (and ships in addition to allowing people to pick them up). He has it labeled as a 'Calamandarin' -more specifically:
Citrus(Citrus reticulata x Citrus mitis 'Calamandarin'.
You asked if it has multiple trunks? It does not. What you see in the picture is the trunk and there are shoots off of the trunk. You may be able to tell better from the first picture. The shoots have unharmed leaves on it -but the leaves that were affected (on the trunk) were frozen and have fallen off.
Last year I emailed the nursery owner asking him about the Calamandarin tree that I purchased in February 2017 (the same time I purchased two Meyer Lemon trees that have produced fruit). I have all three trees in containers. Should I put the Calamandarin tree in the ground -even though it will be harder for me to protect it from the low, low temperatures in the winter?
Here was his reply in October 2018: "The Calamandarin you got from us was grown from seed so is still too young to flower. Hopefully you have it planted in the ground in a suitable spot. The Meyer lemons, which are probably best grown in containers were cutting-grown so are from mature stock."
Thanks, Daisy for your feedback.
