Brown, 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 “hardycitrusology”. He has been involved in the breeding of hardy citrus fruits since the early 1950s.
Bred citrus hybrids
John Brown has bred many citrus hybrids of greater or lesser frost resistance. Information about most of them came to us from the article C. T. Kennedy, John R. Brown - The Hardy Citrus of Texas (1992)plugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigThe Fruit Gardener

Ниже приводится список статей касающихся цитрусовой тематики, выходивших в этом журнале., written by C. T. Kennedy based on notes by Dr. Brown. Most of these hybrids have been lost, but some have remained and are being preserved by amateur and professional citrus breeders such as Gaylord Ventura, Stan McKenzie, Hershell Boyd and others. Below is a list of hybrids obtained by John Brown based on data from articles and information from the Internet (forums, blogs).
