Blood orange: Sanguinello
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? PA |

I suspect that you are trolling, but I will assume not :-) They are talking through their hat. Such a graft would be implausible. If you are serious, contact Reads of Norfolk - a nursery that knows about citrus. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

PA Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_orange 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. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
Blood orange: Sanguinello
First I have to say that my knowledge of grafting is.... NONE :) And I
suspect it will remain like that forever:) This said: I have heard of it before a few times and I remember that when I was a kid one of my neighbours had one (at least he claimed!) orange/pomegranate... The oranges if I remember correctly were red inside (some more orange than red), but not as red as sanguinello. Probably the guy in the nursery was talking rubish (to be fair all the trees I got from them were good quality), but I just want to be sure that I am not buying the wrong tree. PA |

Yes, and there are people who claim to have been taken for rides in flying saucers, too :-) A pomegranate and orange graft is more plausible, but you get the idea. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Could they have got confused with Poncirus? -- Kay |

Could they have got confused with Poncirus? Seems quite plausible. "Poncirus Trifoliata and citrus are graft compatible. Commercially many citrus varieties are grown on Poncirus rootstocks, which provide resistance to some diseases, increased cold-hardiness and high quality fruit."
