If you are in zone 7, you will need to focus on 50% Trifoliate hybrids. Unfortunately, these have a tendency to break dormancy early in the spring and are susceptible to late freezes, especially citranges. Citrumelo and citrandarin are better. Also, citrangequats such as Sinton and Thomasville should do well as the kumquat parentage induces delayed dormancy.
Wow...Your seedlings look amazing! Im in zone 7b Southern Virginia Can you share where you got your cold hardy citrus seeds from? I can't seem to find any citrus that would live in my zone that doesn't need to be in a greenhouse for the winter. Tfs 😊
What @ross2398 said are 2 very good places to start. If Tough citrus does not have the seeds you are looking for give him a email and he might have them. Stan McKenzie at McKenzie farms is the the cold hardy citrus man and really be able to help. Being in zone we are almost not able to grow anything so most citrus will need some protection on the cold nights.
Those are some good sounding varieties, nice haul!
