That poorman orange is a dead ringer for the texas golden grapefruit, at least the picture on the kymp site.
Here is a picture of "poorman orange", (Texas golden grapefruit?) from the kymp site.

No kidding, mrtexas! Very interesting. Hoping I can get the Golden seeds to germinate and get big enough to graft. My grafting is more successful than my seedling sprouting so far. And Laaz, I want that tree. OMG. I must have that cultivar. Somehow. Good grief. Look how large the fruit is. What is it??

My gosh, Laaz. That's a fine citrus. Have you had an opportunity to taste it? Gene is in California, is he not? Hmmm.

Laaz, actually I believe Gene's ranch is just outside of Watsonville, California which is a little east of the Carmel area.. - Millet |

Oh, well. Foo. Perhaps I can reach out to him. Thanks, Millet for clarifying that. A bit of a difference between Bakersfield and Watsonville.
