jakfruit etiquette says... Hi, I know some one in Mt Nebo who had a pomelo, but the fruit was sourish. This is also what happens in Victoria, with the more tropical type pomelos. The tree will grow fine, but the fruit wont be sweet. There are some suitable for cooler areas ie Tahitian,(greenish flesh) Flicks, Honnefs(orange flesh). You may consider Oroblanco, a pummelo X grapefruit. If you search this forum, you will find more info about types. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 29th January 2019 7:42pm #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |

Paula at Mt Nebo says... Thanks, this is a great tip. I actually have a ruby red grapefruit that I am going to get rid of because the fruit are really sour and virtually inedible. You wouldn't think being 30km out of Brisbane and 550m up would make such a difference. I'll check out your recommendations. | About the Author Paula at Mt Nebo Mount Nebo 30th January 2019 11:50am #UserID: 19726 Posts: 2 View All Paula at Mt Nebo's Edible Fruit Trees |
jakfruit etiquette says... You might be able to graft over the ruby red grapefruit, some members might have scions (twigs for grafting)of suitable types for you. These 3 are a little unusual, Tahitian,(greenish flesh) Flicks, Honnefs(orange flesh), ie none are classic pummelos if thats what you are looking for. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 31st January 2019 7:12am #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |
