ID Please - It's not half prickly

{{gwi:243570}}

The guy wanting a shrub to block dogs made me think of this one. I first saw it in the rhino pen of the Phila Zoo, it was untouched. Although the mockingbirds absolutely love it for nestbuilding. Sadly, little or no fragrance in those pure white flowers. I have never known anything, man nor beast, to eat the small, round, golfball sized fruits. Can you name it?

Poncirus trifoliata - Trifoliate Orange

The variety 'Flying Dragon' is a smaller, denser variation.

Tree frog sun bathing on fruit of hardy orange. I would have gotten in closer but he was protected by about 1000 bayonets :)

It's also bitter orange. I used to have a 'recipe' for making preserves, which read something like 1 bushel of white sugar and 1 bitter orange fruit, lol.

It's a very preferred root stock for many citrus.
