RubyGS is a new and distinct mandarin tree notable primarily for its reduced number of seeds per fruit as compared to its parent Daisy mandarin. Fruits of RubyGS mandarin are essentially seedless, with less than one seed per fruit on average.

A new cultivar of Citrus, First Canadian, that is characterized by its low light tolerance when grown in a home windowsill without supplemental lighting in small containers, its fruit that is similar in quality to high quality commercial lemons and essentially seedless, its fruit with a skin thickness of 5 to 6 mm and Brix of 7 to 8 with a tart flavor, its dwarf, bushy plant habit that is ideal for small container windowsill culture in homes and commercial buildings, its ability to grow well and produce an abundance of fruit in hydroculture, its mature fruit with bright yellow skin and a conspicuous style and stigma, its dense flower clusters of 8 to 12 blooms resulting in up to 6 fruits per cluster, and its multiple cycles of blooms and fruit set per year (up to 4 cycles).

A new cultivar of Citrus, First Canadian Golden, that is characterized by its low light tolerance when grown in a home windowsill without supplemental lighting in small containers, its fruit that is similar in quality to high quality commercial limes and essentially seedless, its fruit with a skin thickness of 5 to 6 mm and an average Brix of 10, its exhibits small leaves and a dwarf, bushy plant habit that is ideal for small container windowsill culture in homes and commercial buildings in cold climates and suitable to be grown as a bonsai tree, its ability to grow well and produce quality fruit in hydroculture, its mature fruit that typically has a conspicuous style and stigma, its dense flower clusters of 4 to 8 flowers and 12 fruit per year, and its multiple cycles of blooms and fruit set per year (3 to 4 cycles).

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of citrus tree named RBB7-34. This triploid cultivar arose from a cross of the seed parent LB8-9 with pollen from a tetraploid selection of Hamlin sweet orange that arose from colchicine treated embryogenic callus. RBB7-34 produces fruit that resemble Navel orange in size, shape and with the presence of a navel on the blossom end of the fruit, but with greatly enhanced internal and external pigmentation compared with ordinary Navel orange cultivars grown in the humid, sub-tropical Florida climate. Fruit of RBB7-34 are seedless even under intensive cross pollination pressure.
