This year we had a winter which was pretty normal for this place, but compared to the mildness of last winters, appeared as a very cold one.
Since i have always had difficult time to find data for minimal temperature citrus are able to withstand (more accurately, i have found that data we find for US citrus are not very comparable with the hardiness we observe in Europe for same cultivar, i guess length of the day sun radiation must play a role) i decided to plant whaterver i wanted in the garden and let the winter sort them out.
As for now things have gone fairly well, just a clementine turned to be dead.
I was mostly curious about pomelo hybrids but as for now they seem to react we.. This year after a pretty estensive damage one of the buds of cocktail pomelo showed some incoming variegation. Hopefully it will sitck.

Very nice, I hope it hold the variegation into the next flush.

What worries me more is that i have to graft this, because i don't have any chance to leave it on the plant and see how it goes, since a twig so small would surely die during next winter.

I would let it harden off & hope for another flush. Keep it going as long as you can. You can cleft some in the late fall & even save some budwood in the fridge until spring.
