[Sylvain]

Qui a entendu parler de cette mandarine.
Quelqu'un en a-t-il?
Sinon, où en trouver.
Merci.

Hello Sylvain,

I found mandarine Bendizao in listings from INRA Corse. it is not the same but both are named as similar hardy to -13°C. i don`t know if this is true, but since I read that, there is a link between Bendizao and Jiouyuezao in my brain...

[Sylvain]

Jiouyuezao is said hardy to -13°C and Bendizao "only" to -12°C.

[mikkel]

you are right

[ilya11]

Do you really think that 1°C is an important difference?

[Sylvain]

In certain conditions it could be the difference between death and life.

To be precise, according to chinese article on net ( I will try to find it again), not Bendizao itself, but some selected seedling of Bendizao is cold hardy up to -13°C.
