I saw a Chandler pomello on flying dragon stock and ended up buying it.
When I searched my books the only listing I could find it under was grapefruit. Highly acidic in New Zealand evidently.
NZs citrus growing is in coastal temperate areas so we certainly aren't tropical. I don't know if this makes it more acidic.
I could containerise it in my glasshouse if that would be better.
I found this NZ horticulture note about NZ chandler

Worth keeping on with in your opinions?

I have a containerized Chandler growing in Colorado (a cold US state). The tree is growing in a 30 gallon container in my greenhouse.. It produces pink sweet good tasting fruit every year. - Millet (920-)

Millet, that's a pretty good sized container. Is it a dwarf or standard tree? Approximately how tall it is? I grafted a Chandler to my Oro Blanco and it just sprouted this summer.

The Chandler Pummelo is a grafted tree, but I do not know what the root stock is. In size the tree is about 5' tall and wide. - Millet (920-)
