Citrus > Cold Hardy Citrus

Is Citrus Paradisi "Augusta" the same as Poncirus trifoliata x Citrus paradisi

(1/2) > >>

nullroar:
Hey all, just like topic says, I'm curious as to whether the Augusta Hardy variety here https://nurcar.com/collections/recent/products/citrus-paradisi-augusta-hardy is the same plant as the standard OGW Citrumelo https://onegreenworld.com/product/citrumelo/.

Anyone know? I'm trying to find a decent-tasting hardy grapefruit for 7b, and I've not heard amazing things about standard citrumelo, but wondering if there are variants here that are worth considering.

Thanks in advance!

Ilya11:
A first link shows a hardy chance  seedling of grapefruit,  not a citrumelo.
Strangely, the picture on the second link is also of grapefruit because citrumelos have predominantly trifoliate leaves.

Perplexed:
The one offered by nurcar like Ilya said is a chance seedling from a red grapefruit in Augusta, GA. I’d recommend you get that ASAP. The one by one green world looks the same too based off the picture majority of the leaves are unifoliate, but they’re not that same.

Thanks. For clarity, are you saying it appears that both are the same, and neither is a Citrumelo (if the pictures are accurate)?

Zitrusgaertner:
It seems that there are F2-Citrumelos with mono-leaves. The discription of taste does not fit a F1-Citrumelo  ::)
