Ujukitsu Sweet Lemon

This is one of the most unusual and unique citrus fruits I have ever come across.  The fruit tastes like lemonade.  The shape of the fruit is like a minneola tangelo with a maybe more pronounced "neck."  It peels like a mandarin and the sections separate easily.  The flesh is yellow, somewhat seedy.  Thanks to Sam and Ginger of Santa Fe, TX for giving me a few fruit this year to enjoy.

Grapefruit grown 460 miles north of the citrus belt!

These grapefruit were grown in Bridge City, TX.  My friend brought back a sack of pink grapefruit from Florida more than 20 years ago and planted some seeds.  Budwood from the seedling tree is now grafted to trifoliate rootstock, is 35-40 feet tall and is covered with bushels and bushels of fruit.  He also budded some wood to flying dragon rootstock and that tree is only about 8 feet tall.  The fruit tastes as good as anything grown in Florida.

Nice box of satsumas
