Pomeroy is a vigorous form of Poncirus trifoliata used as a rootstock to improve the cold tolerance of citrus trees. Larger-growing than Flying Dragon, it suits situations where strong development rather than dwarfing is required. Large white flowers open before the leaves. The very thorny plant produces small bitter fruit suitable only for processing, particularly marmalade.
