Could someone please tell me if I have the name of the fruit grown in the Tongaat area correct as 'Ugli fruit'. As I recall, the tree was large, easily climbed, filled with fairly large fruit with a rippled/bumpy skin. The skin was fairly thick and easy to peel. The taste was a grapefruit/orange mix. Delicious. I'd love to have one growing in my garden. I looked it up on Dave's Garden and they talk about a Jamaican 'Tangelo' ugli fruit. I'm not sure if its the same fruit I had as a child in the Tongaat area of Northern Natal. Hope someone can guide me here.
If someone knows of an American seller of this South African citrus tree, please let me have the name.
Or if somone has seeds they'd like to share, again of the SA fruit, I have some Meiwa Kumquat (sweet Kumquat) seeds from my own tree, for an exchange. I'd rather have an established plant though! But I'd be delighted to do an exchange of seedss.
Thanks.
