Which pummelo for the north?

8 years ago

Howdy all!


I grow half a dozen citrus trees in a Wisconsin. They're planted in the ground in a greenhouse. The soil maintains an even 40°F in the winter. The air stays above freezing and can get up into the 70s a sunny winter day.


I'm looking for one pummelo or pummelo hybrid to add to my 'collection'. I'll have to plant it in a large pot because I don't have enough room to plant more trees in the ground. They get quite large that way, much larger than in pots.


I'm intrigued by 'Oroblanco', large fruit, huge super fragrant flowers twice a year, large showy leaves. Two others that look interesting are 'Valentine' and the 'Tahitian' pummelo. But I know that there are many other possibilities.


Given that I'm only ever get one (tee-hee) pummelo type, which one offers the most horticultural pizzazz, and why do you love it? I'm thinking ease of culture, smell, taste, overall appearance, etc.

Thanks a bunch!
