Narrative
'Sukega' is an early-maturing grapefruit hybrid with grapefruit characteristics. Its greatest value is that it is mono-embryonic and therefore useful as a seed parent in breeding. It is self-incompatible and requires a pollen parent for adequate fruit set. 'Sukega' means very juicy in Esperanto; the name was chosen by HB Frost to indicate attributes of this variety. (Frost and Soost, 1968) (RR Krueger, 01/31/2010)

Pedigree
Description:
This is supposed to be a grapefruit x sweet orange hybrid created by HB Frost in the 1920s or 1930s. However, at the time of accessioning, the actual cross is unknown. Archival records maintained at the Repository state that "'Sukega' = 'Imperial' X 'Sdy Marsh' (?)". The "?" is shown in the files maintained and is probably due to some question as to the accuracy of this. As stated by Tim Williams, 'Sukega' appears to have some pummelo characteristics and possibly one of the parents was actually a pummelo.
