History / Story	<span class="pdb-inline-current-value">^Color(s): Orange with Red ^3" ^Blooming: ^Growth: Average ^Scent: Fruity ^AKA's: Sunkist, Inferno ^History: ^Reg 304 ; Makaha Sunn 300 aka Sunkist, Inferno. 3" yellow orange rainbow with jasmine fragrance. An incredible brilliant red and gold. Very substantial petals, outstanding jasmine fragrance. The tree was discovered several years ago by Bud Guillot on one of his trips to Oahu. He named it Makaha Sunn, for the legendary female Hawaiian surfer, Rell Sunn. 4” and is an eye stopper with its bright hues. Leggy if over watered. Golden yellow orange blooms, elliptical moderately overlapped oval petals 3". Upturned inner edges, dark red on the inner edges, blending to orange and yellow into the dark orange center with dark red bands on reverse. Strong jasmine fragrance. Keeping quality is excellent with a high tendency to fade. Very symmetrical compact grower. Listed as compact, but in my experience it isn't. Grows very fast at first and then slows down. Needs a lot of heat and humidity to be happy. Branching is average. Elliptical dark green leaves have acute tips and red edges.</span> <div class="pdb-inline-tools"><details class="pdb-inline-suggest pdb-inline-login-gate"><summary>Suggest correction</summary><div class="pdb-inline-panel"><p>To suggest a change, please log in or create a contributor account.
