Pomelo is the largest citrus fruit — often the size of a large cantaloupe — and the ancestor of the grapefruit. It is less bitter than grapefruit, with a sweeter, milder flavor, and a very thick pith that insulates the segments. Trees are self-fertile but cross-pollination with another variety increases fruit set. Pomelos require heat to develop sweetness and need a longer season than most citrus — fruit set in spring is ready from October through February of the following year. Apply citrus fertilizer three times annually and maintain consistent moisture during fruit development; drought stress during sizing causes dry, pithy fruit.
Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади
Відстань між рослинами: 180–300 дюймів
Висота: 144–300 дюймів
Дні до схожості: null–null
Температура ґрунту для схожості: -18–-18°C

Час посадки: 2–8 тижнів від останнього весняного заморозка
Plant grafted trees in spring after frost risk has passed; pomelo requires a long, hot growing season and performs best in zones 9b–11.
