Notes and observations

1985, EMN: A blood red shaddock with a thornless tree, originated with Francis Heiney of Brawley, CA. This accession had exocortis, removed by shoot tip grafting (STG 157-5).

1/19/1989, EMN: Tree not totally thornless as originally reported (see reverse); has some very small thorns. Fruit more like Marsh gft. in size and shape than pummelo. Rind color golden yellow, smooth. Rind medium thick. Flesh dark pink, coarse, not very juicy, flavor fair but still too sour for my taste at this time. Very seedy.
