Tim@Moss Vale starts with ... At last I have located a flicks yellow pomello tree from Daley's. I live in the southern Highlands of NSW. I have only had the tree a month but it is already shooting. I planted in a Half wine barrel with a mixture of potting mix and cow manure. The container is on wheels and I plan to wrap the tree with hessian in the winter and locate it undercover. The rest of my citrus, orange, lemon grapefruit and mandarin, get the same treatment and seem to survive well. The fruit are a little smaller but still juicy and sweet. I fertilise in the spring and autumn and add a diluted water mixture of 10% worm juice and 90% water every 2 weeks through the summer. In the hotter times I ensure that regular water is applied and mulch with chopped lucerne about 70mm deep. I take care to keep the main trunk clear. I prune 20% of growth each year to keep them to about 1.8 metres. My new pomello will recieve the same treatment even though it is not on dwarf stock. | About the Author TimMossVale1 NSW 7th March 2012 1:06pm #UserID: 5958 Posts: 8 View All TimMossVale1's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... Phil, it tastes like sweet lemonade. Its not a true Pommelo though and tolerates cooler climates and sweetens up perfectly outside of the tropics. Daley's posted a video about the varieties just a little while ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPf7xWBtCsg&feature=plcp&context=C3b80531UDOEgsToPDskLPxSMBVqBdaqQRZcVHgg5_ | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 7th March 2012 2:18pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

The poster formerly known as... says... A few drops in wild may should do the trick. Folk up north have reported good results with frontline ground up into wild may. I figure the liquid will mix much better with wild may, plus is so much better value for money in the long run. And since the fruit flies are going nowhere, it's a long run solution I'm looking for... | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Keperra 25th February 2015 10:32pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |
