Cocktailpomelo (Mandelo)

[tedburn]

Today harvested and tasted my second fruit in the second year fruiting.
Due to my small plant I had every year only one fruit. The fruits are to delicious to skip it small, to let the plant faster grow  .
Cocktail pomelo is really one of the best citrus for me, especially in colder climates (Z7) it builds very tasty, sweet and juicy fruits with a delicious flavourmix of orange and grapfruit but without bitter- and sourness.
Only lots of seeds but thats for me no problem.
Other positive add on is the early ripening time.

Nice flesh color on your fruit. My Cocktail flesh isn't as dark orange from what I remembered. Also, when your tree grows more, the fruits should be about 1lb (453g) each. My in ground tree grew so much that I had to cut it down to 6ft so no fruits this year. Prior years I had lots of large fruits on the tree.

Yes this is it, interesting that they confirm my  experience with early ripening and good for cooler climates
