You can try epsom salt but the best solution is heat which VIC might be lacking

Move further north. They require greater heat than grapefruit to obtain good flavour.
All the bath salts in the world will not increase the sugars in your fruit.

A plastic hot house built over it may increase the heat for ripening.
For a small tree you may get away with some hoops and a large mattress bag from the bed shop. Keep an eye on humidity+sooty mould.

Nam Roi was supposed to be ok in cooler climates.

"Nam Roi was supposed to be ok in cooler climates"

Unless it is a hybrid like the types commonly sold as sweetie, then it will always have far too much acid in Melbourne.

Not sure why you say it is suitable for cooler climates. Daleys say otherwise: http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/buy/dwarf-pumelo-nam-roi-tree.htm

When Nam Roi was released as budwood by Auscitrus, i'm pretty sure they commented on that.
Evidently they meant cooler than FNQ ???
There are plenty of other vars suitable for Darwin + Cairns etc, so they must have had a reason to release it ??
Not sure what var would be good in Melbourne, maybe Red Shaddock, Murray Downs, Tahitian, if you can find them.
