Last year, I got some seeds from unknown fruit. Description of the fruit fits to citrus kotokan . Mandarin-like fruit, with size of pomelo. Seeds are bigger than pomelo seeds. Now I have healthy seedlings from those seeds.
Something interesting occures on those seedlings. On each plant there is one (on one plant - two), bifoliate leaves. On some seedlings, there are "double neck" on some leaves.
bifoliate leaf:

Great photos, I would bet that is some type of cross with trifoliata. _________________ Wal-Mart a great place to buy cheap plastic crap ! http://walmartwatch.com/ ...

I bet for cross pollination with trifoliate too. Or may be with swinglea ? But I am not sure, that swinglea can pollinate citrus species. Never saw the mother plant, so I do not know, whether mother plant is hybrid, or the fruit comes from cross pollination.
Hope, one day will see fruits from these seedlings. |

Another interesting cross:
3 years ago I bought "Jaffa red pomelo" fruit (some said to be identical with Chandler pomelo) and sow 3 seeds from this fruit . I got 3 nice seedlings with different habitus. On the second one, I found big trifoliate leaf this year ! Hope, one day I will have the chance to test the fruits

Guess you have some Poncirus or hybrid near you and the bees do the rest ... |

Of course it has poncirus in ancestry, but not born in my garden. Seeds are from fruit, which I bought in supermarket - import Israel. |
