Chironja Grapefruit Hybrid
« on: May 05, 2014, 01:54:37 PM »
Anyone have any experience with this variety?  It is a new selection that Four Winds is offering.  It seems that it is a Grapefruit-Orange or Pummelo-Orange hybrid from Puerto Rico.

I've heard that the fruit taste much the same and mixing a glass of orange juice and a glass of grapefruit juice. - Millet

It supposedly resembles grapefruit but is completely free of bitterness.  Seeds are supposed to be polyembryonic.

If you are looking for trees, the initial post mentioned Four Winds.  If you are looking for seeds, try the growers in Puerto Rico (since it originated there).  I believe Govardhan has it, not sure about the others.

I have one.  It is good, tastes more like an orange than a grapefruit.  Very little "grapefruit" taste.
