White flower Poms

Post by greenfig »

Visited a friend today and saw a Pom tree with white flowers. He acquired it as Parfianka. :)
Any idea what fruit is going to follow ?

100% not Parfianka but you already know that lol. What area did he get it from?

If these end up being double flowered they could potentially be these which are not great fruit:
DPUN 016 / White Flower
DPUN 007 / Haku-Botan

If single flowered it may be:
White (L. E. Cook).

Those flowers are definitely not 'White (L. E. Cooke)'. I am very familiar with the variety. The flowers of that variety start out red.

Thanks! That's definitely not Haku-Botan.
I will graft a scion and will see what the fruit look like.

If the petals are pure white then it could be this variety called 'White'

Or this variety which is called 'Vietnamese White'


Or it could be something else


The 'White Flower' variety appears to have a reddish outer part of the flower as you can see here https://plantingjustice.org/products/wh ... er-organic

Cool, thanks!
For some reason, the white arils are not so inviting to eat as red :)

Yes, although juiced with a citrus press, good juice is good juice.
