Notes and observations

This is a pummelo. This accession had exocortis, removed by shoot tip grafting (STG 204-4).

1/18/1989, EMN: A small, pummelo, about grapefruit sized. Round to elongate, rind golden yellow, fairly smooth. Rind medium to thick. Flesh melting, juicy, morelike a grapefruit than a pummelo, yellow in color with pink tinge in outer parts of sectors and in albedo. Seedy. Foliage appears typically pummelo but fruit could be a pummelo x grapefruit hybrid.
