Notes and observations

PBL: It is possibly a sport of a bitter orange and Sathgudi sweet orange. It is used as a rootstock for the Sathgudi but is not very good because of its susceptibility to many diseases. 

3/1987, EMN: Fruit appears to be a typical sour orange.

2/11/2008: TS &  DK: Hybrid of sweet and sour oranges? Fruit looks like common sour orange.
