The Rutaceae family includes a large number of genera and species. Of these,
Citrus, Poncirus and Fortunella are the genres most worldwide exploited
commercially, but there are other less discussed, such as gender Swinglea
having a single species: S. glutinosa (Blanco) Merr. In order to characterize from
an agricultural point of view this kind of importance as their genetic resource
and subsequent use as a standard in citrus production. The physicochemical
characteristics of the fruits were evaluated. Mass, diameter and height of fruit
number and seed mass, total soluble solids, acidity, maturity index, vitamin C
and some qualitative characteristics of the morphology of the tree as: tree
structure for it variables were analyzed , forms the fruit, leaves and seed. The
results showed that it is a rustic tree, adapting well to our conditions, also it
has a high number of seeds per fruit. The results showed that it is a rustic tree,
adapting well to our conditions, also has a high number of seeds per fruit,
which is of great importance when selecting a pattern for introduction into
productive practice.
