Types of grapefruit

The natural environment of China's pomelo production area is superior, and the ecological conditions are complex. In addition, the monoembryonic nature of pomelo makes it very easy to mutate through seed propagation. Over thousands of years, extremely rich germplasm resources have been formed, and the groups are colorful. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 200 varieties, strains, types and strains of pomelo in China. In order to facilitate scientific research, production, development, utilization, sorting and evaluation, horticultural traits are usually classified according to fruit characteristics.
