Question & Answer
Could you please let me know if this variety is cold hardy for growing in Melbourne. Thank you. From:
Pummelo's are the most tropical of the citrus and are not ideally suited to cool climates like Melbourne, you will need a warm, protected position for it to thrive. Or grow it in a pot so you can move it into a sheltered position for the winter months.
