      3000 species and counting, we have an influx of species here in the EU for gardening and collecting, not in supermarkets though. I expect that the number of cultivated ones will rise from the usual mix of lemon mandarin and orange, already pomelos are pretty often to be found in supermarkets.

    I’m fascinated by citrus. I have a finger lime, Mayer lemon, variegated pink lemon, key lime, navel orange and grapefruit, yuzu and a commercial variety of mandarin orange. I hope to add calamondin and kumquat soon which I lost during a hard freeze several years ago. Citrus adds so much zing to foods. I also have apricot, pomegranate, fig, avacado, and persimmon trees. There used to be just something about growing fruit trees that is very appealing to me. Thank you so much for this video.

    Really good job my friend. I had this tree in my backyard for years that had these terrifying giant thorns. This is in the state of Virginia.

    I am trained in evolutionary biology, and I have often wondered where modern varieties of citrus fruits come from without looking much further than India, China, and Indonesia. I am now aware of much that I did not know. I appreciate the repitition of names and radiations in your video as these things tend to lock in information for me.
    I would love a video on any evidence, biographical or physical ( as in coprolites, eg. ) on who ate these fruits before humans. For example, could elephants, mastodons, and early great apes have influenced adaptations of these fruits as well as climate change? One can always speculate, but has anyone done any peer reviewed studies on this? Just curious. And thank you.
