    On a tangentially related note, I think the story of the red grapefruit is pretty insane. It was created using atomic gardening back in the 50s. The whole idea was that they'd blast plant seeds with radiation and see what fun mutations would arrise. Lo and behold one of those mutations was the red grapefruit.

      @@gatomaru actually it is (somewhat) true. A red grapefruit was found growing on a pink variety naturally and the desire for a red strain led to the use of atomic gardening to induce mutations which eventually produced an all red grapefruit strain.

  • @cchill100

    I picked up this fruit tree from a local nursury 20 years ago and its a dwarf cocktail grapefruit which was explained to me as a cross between grapefruit and orange and after listening to you MR WEIRD EXPLORER it all makes sense. The fruit that i get is large and juicier than anything I have seen but the large amount of seeds per fruit [70] I use my Sunkist Heavy duty juicer that spins at 1750 rpm which I might add is very dangerous but effective to juice citrus. They look mostly yellow with streaks of green on outside and the inside looks like a orange but tastes rreal good. The juice is awesome and would be really great commercially. thank you for the post

    If you ever go to hong kong, look around in the jungle for Lime trees, especially around the dams. Theyre these tiny little ping pong ball sized limes that are EXTREMELY strong and limey, really delicious. Dunno what variety they are or if theyre a wild species, but we didnt see them in markets anywhere. We collected some and took back 5 in a little baggie, used them in drinks.

      @avariceseven9443 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Only from the thumbnail. If you look closer it has thicker skin and it's bigger. Dalandan are usually smaller and the skin is easy to peel. This one has skin like that of pomelo but very thin for a pomelo. Dalandan has more orange-y inside too. This one has the color of calamansi instead, more yellowy.
      Now I'm craving for dalandan. How many years has it been since I had one...ugh.
