Swingle Citrumelo Tree

Hybrid Citrus for Cold Climates

This exceptional hybrid citrus tree combines the winter hardiness of trifoliate orange with the superior fruit quality of grapefruit, creating a variety that survives temperatures plummeting to 15°F. Hardy through USDA zones 8-10, the Swingle Citrumelo produces medium-sized, seedless fruit bursting with a distinctive tart-sweet flavor—perfect for fresh eating, juicing, or culinary creations. This vigorous grower matures quickly and establishes productive harvests faster than many traditional citrus varieties. The citrumelo thrives with standard citrus care while delivering consistent annual yields. The Swingle Citrumelo proves that northern gardeners no longer need to sacrifice authentic citrus flavor for winter survival. Experience genuine homegrown citrus, even in challenging climates.
