Description
The fruit is moderately large (around the size of a grapefruit) and pomelo-like in shape.

The tree is densely branched and the leaves are leathery and ovate to elliptical in shape. The flesh is juicy and has been described as having a pleasant flavor but rather mild and flat. It has been cultivated for over 70 years.[1]
