I think I didn't load the photographs properly (again)... Apparently, as well as being unable to identify my citrus tree, I am clueless about how to upload photographs. :/ [URL=http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/ICH76/?action=view&current=Topofcitrusfruit.jpg][IMG]http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/ICH76/th_Topofcitrusfruit.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/ICH76/?action=view&current=2fruittogether.jpg][IMG]http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/ICH76/th_2fruittogether.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/ICH76/?action=view&current=Clusteroffruit.jpg][IMG]http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/ICH76/th_Clusteroffruit.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/ICH76/?action=view&current=Sideangleoffruit.jpg][IMG]http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/ICH76/th_Sideangleoffruit.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/ICH76/?action=view&current=Sideangleof1fruit.jpg][IMG]http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/ICH76/th_Sideangleof1fruit.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/ICH76/?action=view&current=Anotherpictureofcitrusleaf.jpg][IMG]http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/ICH76/th_Anotherpictureofcitrusleaf.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/ICH76/?action=view&current=Semi-closeupoftree.jpg][IMG]http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/ICH76/th_Semi-closeupoftree.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/ICH76/?action=view&current=Pictureofwholetree.jpg][IMG]http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/ICH76/th_Pictureofwholetree.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I hope this works!

Ok here's a weird question. Is the name of the fruit chimera or is that just the term for the wedge? This tree started as a certain citrus variety (mandarin, Valencia, etc) So without the wedge (chimera) what would you say this variety is? It's about the size of a mandarin, tough to peel like a Valencia, but thick skinned like a navel. I have a Valencia, 2 mandarins, a bears lime (next to this chimera tree. Had been a kaffir lime but replaced it) a Mexican lime, cara cara, and a navel orange all in close proximity. A little farther north is a lemon tree, and farther south is another lemon and a grapefruit and farther south than that is another grapefruit. Oh and just east of the chimera tree is another unknown citrus variety that is barely giving fruit this year. It also was dying. I didn't lose the tree, and was able to bring back its original branches :) I'll post a separate thread on that one soon. The reason I posted this info is because I wonder about pollination. Could the chimera have been pollinated by a lemon or lime or grapefruit to have caused the chimera? I would think that if it were cross pollinated with a lime or lemon, it would be more bitter?

I agree, pummelo. There are a lot of varieties of pummelo (or shaddock) including Affrican Shaddock, Chandler, Red Shaddock, and Tahitian. The rather odd top shape makes me think not Chandler. Maybe a Shaddok? hard to know exactly which one. post another pic. when the fruit turns ripe and when you slice it open. It may only turn lighter green, or my be yellow or blush red.

You might try posting over on the Citrus Grower's Forum. Many International folks there, as well as some very serious citrus experts, including Dr. Malcolm Manners. See link below. Patty S. Here is a link that might be useful: Citrus Grower's Forum
