Siamese Sweet

Siamese Sweet pomelo is an essentially acidless variety of pomelo received by the Citrus Research Center in 1930. The tree is small in stature with drooping branches.  The fruits are oblate with a slightly rough yellow rind.  The flavor is insipid. Siamese Sweet pomelo has been used extensively in breeding programs and is the seed parent of Oroblanco and Melogold pomelo-grapefruit hybrids, Chandler pomelo, and Cocktail pomelo-mandarin hybrid.  It is mature in the winter and holds well on the tree.
