Hi Renal,

This is my Hickson. It's growing outdoor and survived this winter. Check your temp to compare with mine - post code 3040. Cheers

I used to grow it at Mt Macedon which has a similar climate. Quite a heavy bearer but looked a bit pale in winter

I just love this variety, has a beautiful flavour when fully ripe. The fruit fly aren't around when it ripens either. Mine has a lot of seeds, not sure whether it's because of other citrus nearby.

John, if your Hickson's are mature now, could you please post a photo of the fruit?
I bought a Hickson from Daleys but the fruit don't look like a true Hickson. The fruit are medium/medium small and don't have the distinct nipple on top.
