SRA 337 US Furr Mandarin Budwood

Citrus reticulata.

SRA 337 is reported to be a cross of 'Clementine' and 'Murcott'. This accession is actually one of two selections of 'C 54-4-4'. The other selection, RRUT 458 'Furr' was developed following a different path than RRUT 223.

'C54-4-4' is a late maturing mandarin with uniform exterior color with 20 % granulation. The fruit was large with an average of 22 seeds per fruit. Brix was intermediate in the varieties reported upon, but acid was among the lowest reported. Therefore, the brix/acid ratio was the second highest among the varieties evaluated. Yields were intermediate. This data was based upon harvest in January or February for the years 1969 - 1974.

Rootstocks of accession:  Carrizo citrange.

Season of ripeness at Riverside, California: December to January.
