My Edible Fruit Trees: Citrus Trees NSW

Pummelo - Carters Red (Grafted) ^3/10

Comments: -

The Flick's Yellow pummelo which we have has very nice fruit so we decided to try the red pummelo variety as well. Has flowered well, but low fruit set and fruit drops off while still small. Suspect inadequate water. We finally got a few fruit in 2019 but found it took a very long time to ripen. The ffruit was quite bitter and not tasty, probably because not suited to Sydney climate. Not recommended. 

In 2023 have reworked the plant to multigraft - Cara Cara orange, washington navel and Lisbon lemon. Grafts growing very well and flowering already in 2024.
