I was once told that no pomelo grow true to type, meaning that your seeds will not be exactly like Valentine Pummelo, unless self pollinated. BTW hear another nice pomelo is Tahitian pomelo.

You've got a pretty varied background there, genetically.  Even if self-pollinated, it ain't gonna come true ...

Of course, but that is how the thousands of varieties of citrus came from the original citron, then came the sour orange, the lemon, and the sweet orange over hundreds of years.

Californians can order a true to type grafted Valentine through your local nursery from Montereybaynursery
They carry other rare nice citrus like the Vaniglia ?Sangiugno. I am very happy with these 2 I special ordered from them.

For anyone outside of California I believe seeds are the only way to go right now.

Yes I have seeds available, I don't think I can ship scions out of my quarantine zone to another place in California. I got my scion wood from the "Citrus Clonal Protection Program" a few years ago and grafted a few up.

Supposedly illegal to graft your citrus trees with your own scion wood from your yard without the proper paperwork so  CCPP is the only legal wood to graft.

Thanks Mark, meant to post that on another thread. I'm definitely interested in knowing about the next opportunity to obtain CCPP scion wood however.
