A citrus tree for the north! This hybrid between Poncirus trifoliata the "Hardy Orange" and the Pummello grapefruit takes periods of subfreezing temperatures with ease. Its growth and form resembles the "Hardy Orange" with fruit that is smoothed skinned and rich orange in color. This Citrumelo came from an unheated greenhouse in Newport, RI. The fruit is sour,similar to grapefruit early in the season. It has a strong root system, which is highly resistant to root diseases. We use it as an understock in grafting.

Zone 6B Martinsburg, West Virginia Success!

While initially very slow growing, this tree is now over 5 feet tall and is doing great! I haven't yet gotten any fruit, but I have seen a couple of blossoms. This tree was bought from Logee's about 7-8 years ago (memory fails me on this count).

Growing so well!

Yet another gorgeous tree! I bought this about a year and a half ago and its already about 4-4 1/2 feet tall. No fruiting yet but its still young. Not filling out as fast as some other trees we ordered but still a gorgeous tree.
