Not yet. I tried F. margarita x Chandler but failed. But that is probably not the last word in that matter. I did not try it very extensively. Kucle x Chandler may have been successfull. I have one pubescent seedling.

I know it takes years, but I am very interested how the fruits will be like.

Me too! I like that Kumquat can be eaten whole with peel. And wish we had more citrus varieties that can be eaten with their peel. That is also what makes Kumquat hybrids interesting for me. I suppose, however, that the peel of a Kumquat x Pummelo hybrid is not very edible. We will need a F2 cross. So I fear that Kumquat x Pummelo is something that has not been tried very often for good reason.

I heard about a hybrid in France, but was not able to get more information. Here a video mentioning it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZENMZJ5YYwYes, you are right, a F2 would be extremely interesting. |

Apparently Baches wants to release it (at least sounds so) let`s hope for it.

Maybe pummelo x Kumquat is better than I thought...
