Scientific Names

Read about Shaddock in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Shaddock. A name used in the West Indies and Florida for the forms of the pummelo, Citrus grandis, supposed to have been introduced from India into the West Indies sometime in the seventeenth century by a Captain Shaddock. The shaddocks are large usually pear-shaped fruits with a thick peel and have a firm pulp of rather poor flavor. The leaves have very broad, winged petioles and the twigs are usually more or less hairy, especially when young. Shaddocks were formerly grown in Florida but have been superseded by the grapefruit (see page 1391, Vol. III) as the latter finds more favor in American markets. Pummelos, very like shaddocks, are still grown in India, China, and the East generally. See Pummelo (page 2857, Vol. V). ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
