Citrus General Discussion / “Starburst” Pommelo, what variety is it ?
« on: December 27, 2023, 03:04:30 PM »
Our regional grocery store chain ( H-E-B) is selling an excellent pommelo marketed by Noble Citrus (Florida) as “Starburst”.
It is excellent quality, very high brix, my wife’s favorite citrus.
Does anyone know the variety and if trees are available for retail sale?
I went to a citrus tasting hosted by Texas Rare Fruit Growers before Christmas that had several pommelos including Valentine and Hirado Buntan. None of the pommelos came close to Starburst.
Thanks,
Louis

“The Roe family discovered Florida Starburst The Roe family discovered Florida Starburst Pummelo over 25 years ago. We planted 5 trees...Then 5 acres... Then 100 acres. And we’re still increasing acreage based on demand each year.
