SPIRITUAL CRISIS: What’s the best pomelo you’ve ever had?

Rottypixie, you're fairly close to pomelo heaven, Shiraki Orchard in Japan grows 40 different pomelo varieties (plus 60 other types of citrus) and have pummelo available every month of the year, https://www.japan.travel/en/gastronomy/article-japans-secret-citrus/. It's on my bucket list. Their monthly pomelo calendar is great too, https://buntan.com/
I really like Starburst and Hirado Buntan but they're the only varieties I've tried.
All the best with your quest! Amazing pomelos are out there!!

Thanks for the links—super helpful.
That said, I think I wasn’t really looking for fruit per se… I’m more interested in budwood or a potted tree, ideally something that could survive zone 6 without disassociating mid-winter.
Still kind of stunned that Japan’s just… sitting over there hoarding 40 pomelo varieties like it’s normal.
Meanwhile, I’m over here grafting Flying dragon onto Flying Dragon in a garage that doubles as a seasonal depression simulator.
Appreciate it though. Added Shiraki to the life list.
