The label on your citrus says 'Oroblanco', but seems to be crossed out. Was it mislabeled? Oroblanco is a pomelo x grapefruit hybrid. But yours looks perhaps too yellow/orange to be Oroblanco, although I've never seen one in person (yet). If yours is a pomelo x mandarin cross, it can be called 'mandelo'.
It is generally called "Cocktail Grapefruit" and you are right about its lineage. The world's best pummelo by FAR, BTW, is the Tahitian Pummelo that tastes like sweet limeade and can be big as a bowling ball and is juicy enough to be eaten -- just as is a grapefruit -- with a spoon. You pretty much have to go to Tahiti or surrounding French goverened Islands like Moorea or Bora Bora or Raiatea -- they are called collectively The Society Islands -- in order to enjoy this masterpiece of nature. Chandler pummelos by comparison? Yuck!!!!! IMHO, of course. HUGELY THICK pith, dry vesicles, mediocre flavor that lacks all distinction. Otherwise go for it.
That fruit looks good. Great video.
Looks amazing.

Will you be taking cuttings off the tree to have more of them?

Pummelo is similar to grapefruit..I had one but cold winter killed
Y’all realize that orange is just a hybrid between pumello and mandarin
Exactly what i was thinking, how cool would it be to try the first version of an orange?!
Pummelo is my favorite fruit.
