Oh, I wouldn't eat Poncirus fruit. I want it to fruit for purely ornamental reasons. Flying Dragon gets a very unusual form as well and the spines are so large that they are ornamental as well. Still, after digging mine up to move then I couldn't quite figure out where I wanted them and just threw them out. I still have a few in pots, but the ones in the ground were getting a nice size...just not really very "citrusy".
