Origin
It was received by Dr. John Brownplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigBrown, John
Dr. John Robert Brown (Dr. John R. Brown, 08.01.1921 -- 01.04.2010) was a family physician from Texas, USA (not to be confused with his partial namesake, also a physician from the United States). Enthusiastic citrus breeder. One of the pioneers of. According to Brown's article The Hardy Citrus of Texas, this is one of his Ciclem's (Clementine × P. trifoliata). But there are doubts about the correctness of this origin, since Dimichelli have almost mono-leaf foliage, and trifoliate hybrids in the first generation usually have triple leaves. According to information from the Hardy Citrus blog, in his personal correspondence, D. Brown called Dimicelli a hybrid of a Citempl and a Clementine (that is, Clementine × [Tample × P. trifoliata]), which is more consistent with the morphology of this hybrid.
According to J. Brown, Dimicelli is hardy up to about 5°F (-15°C), which is confirmed by Gaylor Ventura, whose Dimicelli survived the winter of 2013/14 at such a temperature (5-6°F).
