Melogold Grapefruit

Melogold Grapefruit

Citrus x 'Melogold'

Description

The Melogold is a delicious yellow grapefruit. It is a cross of a grapefruit and a pummelo. Does very well in hot interior climates and would be great as a patio plant. Fruit holds on the tree longer than some other varieties. Beautiful, golden yellow skin is thinner than some grapefruits making it easier to peel. If you live in a colder climate, simply plant them in a container. Bring your tree indoors near a sunny window, & let the intoxicating citrus scent brighten your home during cold winter days. Hurry, Quantities Are Limited! Our trees are always in high demand, and we expect these large-sized, mature citrus trees to be very popular.  Order now before they sell out and enjoy the benefits of growing your own citrus fruit anywhere in the U.S. * Loves Hot Interior Climate* Thin Skin on Fruit* Great Container Plant
