Pummelo Tree - Nam Roi (Grafted) 4/10 Anonymous's Edible FruitsUpdate: 710 days 19hrs Comments: - Flowers profusely but not much fruit set. Suspect competition from nearby trees for moisture. I have therefore movwill ed it to a new location after a good pruning. However, the tree has died back and was removed. Fruiting Months July and August Planted: 2008 Height 1.5 metres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 1 Fruit Harvest: 1 Fruit Per Year First Fruited: 2 Years from purchase in pot Sun/Shade: Full Sun Pollination: No Pest Control: Spray with Lebaycid to control fruit fly.
