Hi Mikkel,Hi Ilya,
An interesting observation. How old was citrumelo rootstock?
Walt, my "Holy Grail" would be a zygotic Conestoga series tree.In my experience, pollination by Ichang Papeda often resulted in zygotic seeds. even in otherwise nucellar varieties. (But this is only anecdotal and not confirmed!).
One green world in Portland has some really great maypop varieties. I got a bluePop from them last year, it flowered a bunch but didn't set fruit.

I understand the Australians have one as well, but it's noted to struggle. Not so much that it dies, but it's not exactly happy about it, either.
The Microcitrus x Poncirus hybrids
Also this is a desire of mine: large, sweet and glochidless opuntia
In my experience the proportion of zygotic seeds in partially nucellar varieties also depends on the pollinizator.Ichang Papeda as pollen donor often leads to zygotic offspring, at least in my experience.
I tested Eremorange in an unheated greenhouse this winter and it was undamaged and started growing without any problems
They have the one poncirus x orange that is an edible f1 hybrid.
