A stunning variegated form of the beautiful and hardy Flying Dragon citrus. The variegated foliage looks particularly striking against the contorted branches and the curved thorns and branches often have an excellent striped variegation to them. Flying Dragon is notoriously a slow grower and the Snow Dragon is no exception. Snow Dragon is also seemingly just as cold hardy, to at least 0° F, making this a stunning ornamental all the way down to zone 6.

The post Mexican Key Lime Citrus Tree appeared first on One Green World.

The Tahitian Pummelo Tree is a relatively small pummelo, although still larger than a grapefruit. This variety is round with slightly flattened ends, and has a thin, yellow-green rind when ripe. The rind peels off easily to reveal juicy, green flesh that turns amber colored as it ripens to full maturity. The flesh tends to have many easy-to-remove seeds. The unusual taste of the Tahitian Pummelo Tree, also referred to as pomelo, is fairly sweet with notes of melon and lime, and subtler notes of grapefruit.
