On a voyage of discovery in Treviso

Discovered in the hotel garden, the large fruity grapefruits originally come from Southeast Asia. In English and in Mediterranean usage they are called "pummelo" They adorn the branches individually or in groups.

The skin is thicker than that of grapefruits, the yellowish or slightly pinkish flesh is less and the sweet-bitter taste is intense.

The evergreen magnolia reaches a height of up to eight metres. In combination with its white flowers, which appear from May to August, it is an exciting sight. This strongly scented plant always makes a good impression.
