Anyone ever heard of this one? The fruit I tried was pinkish, sweet and the size of a large grapefruit. This is supposedly from Pakistan.

The peel is not as thick as my Pink Chandler Pummelo. The Dujrek pummelo must be a pummelo X pummelo hybrid cross, as shown by the excessive amount of seeds it produces. - Millet

wanna seeds ...

Sanguinello, pummelos are monoembryonic, you'd only get some unknown hybrids. Mrtexas, looks a lot like my Chandler, which doesn't have as thick a skin as other Chandlers I've seen. Hoping my Chandler stays that way!

I know by my own growing from seeds, that they come true ...

enjoy ...

Let me get this straight, you grew them from seed in a container & the tree produced fruit identical to the original fruit?

So, you grew a 25 ft tree in your apartment in a container? I really doubt a pomelo would ever produce in a contain as the node count is so high for pomelo.

Two varieties that will not come true from seed are temple and pomelo.

It was about 2 meter only.
Sort was Siamese sweet.
It took 8 years.

Sanguinello, again do the research (note underlined statement). This is well known, this is one of the most scholarly resources on citrus, not my opinion, but fact known within the world of citrus. Any seedlings from a pommelo will be a hybrid. Period:

PUMMELOS AND GRAPEFRUITS The pummelos, or shaddocks, and the grapefruits exhibit so many resemblances in both tree and external characters that close botanical relationship is obvious. Indeed, most systematists have either placed them in the same species or classed the grapefruit as a subspecies or botanical variety. The differences are more basic and numerous than appear at first glance, however, and separation into different species seems clearly justified. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that there are pummelos which so closely resemble grapefruits that it is difficult to separate them with accuracy on any basis other than the presence or absence of polyembryony. The principal differences between the two groups are set forth in the list of comparisons on page 534 adapted from Webber (1943).17 The pummelos as a group exhibit a very much greater range of variation in characters than do the grapefruits. Some of them are comparatively small trees, whereas others are among the largest of citrus trees. Some exhibit a marked degree of pubescence on the young growth, whereas others are scarcely, if at all, Pummelo Characteristics Young twigs pubescent Leaves puberulent along midribs beneath Petioles usually very broadly winged Wings commonly overlapping blade Fruit size usually large to very large Fruits mainly round, obovate, or pyriform Rind usually thick to very thick Segments usually open at suture Axis semi-hollow or hollow Flesh commonly firm, sometimes crisp Flavor highly variable Carpellary membranes readily separable Seeds monoembryonic Fruits mainly borne singly

Two varieties that will not come true from seed are temple and pomelo.

Sanguinello, please post the picture of your fruiting siamese sweet pomelo.

That was long ago.
I don´t have it any more.

lol...

It is 19.00 o'clock here, maybe time for another fairy tale.
