    This unique, attractive, and vigorous variety is a cross of Pummello and Grapefruit. Deliciously combining the qualities of its parents, Melogold bears good crops of large seedless fruit with mild, sweet, pale yellow flesh. Bring your Melogold Grapefruit to a well-lit and protected location in late fall before hard frosts occur.
