Hi all,

I want to get a blood orange/sanguinello tree. Today I went to the nursery
and they mentioned to me that it is a orange grfted in a pomegranate tree.
Is this true or are we talking about different things?

I'd very much doubt that one could graft an orange (Citrus, in
Rutaceae, in Sapnidales) on a pomegranate (Punica, in Lythracee, in
Myrtales); a sycamore would be more plausible.


Could they have got confused with Poncirus?
