The Citrus Variety Collection of the University of California has given Citrus Pages permission to use their photographs. The Citrus Experiment Station and its Citrus Variety Collection were established in Riverside in the early 1900s to support the needs of the developing citrus industry in Southern California. Today UCR has expertise in many disciplines, yet the Citrus Variety Collection, consisting of two trees each of more than 1000 different citrus types, remains one of the premier citrus germplasm collections in the world and a valuable university resource. The university retains the copyright of their pictures, which are marked © UCR Citrus Variety Collection  The California Citrus Clonal Protection Program (CCPP) is part of the Department of Plant Pathology at the University of California at Riverside and is a cooperative program with the citrus growers of California, represented by the Citrus Research Board, the California Department of Food and Agriculture and the United States Department of Agriculture. This program serves both researchers and growers by providing a safe mechanism for the introduction of citrus varieties from around the world and then maintains these varieties in a protected, disease tested collection of important fruit and rootstock varieties that serve as as a primary source of propagating materials for California. Their pictures are marked: © CCPP |

   The French National Institute for Agricultural Research has given Citrus Pages permission to use the photographs of the citrus collection in their agricultural research centre in San Giuliano on the island of Corsica in the Mediterranean. The centre was established in 1958 and has a collection of more than 1000 citrus types, four trees of each type, including over 240 types of mandarin. FNIAR retains the copyright of the pictures which are marked: © photographer / INRA, for example: © C. Jacquemond / INRA |
