Moroccan Citron - The Lack of Seeds

The Lack of Seeds

However, Schraga Schlomai, a renowned etrog grower recounted the misfortunes of all the used etrog types besides the one he was cultivating, which he claimed to be a descendant of the Balady from Umm al-Fahm.

As to the Yanover and the Corfu he argued based on the booklet from the Salant partners, that since some of them are proven to be grafted, no certification may be granted to the rest, since it is impossible to determine if the non-grafted citrons are not descendents of the grafted ones.

As to the Moroccan and Yemenite he argued, that although there were no grafted trees ever discovered among those kinds, they should be unfit, in light of the differentiation from the Ashkenazi types. The Moroccan citron is allegedly noted for its seedlessness, and the Yemenite for its pulplessness, both are too much different in morphology from the usual yanove and Israeli esrogs.

Famous quotes containing the words lack and/or seeds:

    Removed from its more restrictive sense, masturbation has become an expression for everything that has proved, for lack of human contact, to be void of meaning. We have communication problems, suffer from egocentrism and narcissism, are frustrated by information glut and loss of environment; we stagnate despite the rising GNP.
    Günther Grass (b. 1927)

    A girl in the middle years also becomes more centered in her soul-life, the feelings of her heart, and she needs our guidance to learn to express her uniqueness, those small seeds that will someday sprout into gifts, talents, and resources.
    Jeanne Elium (20th century)
