Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Each year the Citrus Clonal Protection Program (CCPP) distributes budwood of new, potentially important commercial citrus cultivars as they are re- leased from quarantine after completing a thorough “Variety Introduction (VI)” disease testing and therapy program. This article is the second in a series of articles compiled by the staffs of the UCR Citrus Variety Collection (CVC), USDA National Clonal Germplasm Repository for Citrus and Dates(NCGRCD),and the CCPP. The purpose of this article is to provide information about these new cultivars. Although the CCPP staff provides budwood of new introductions to researchers soon after release, very little or no data on the performance of these cultivars in California are available prior to when the CCPP distributes budwood of new cultivars to the industry. This article provides information about the new cultivar introductions from their country of origin. For most, one to two years’ data on their performance in California is also provided.
