My Edible Fruit Trees: Pummelo Trees

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 and washington navel. Grafts grew very well and got a good crop in 2026.

Dwarf Pummelo Nam Roi (Grafted) ^7/10

Comments: - Variety unknown, lost cultural notes.  Small fruit but very juicy, and a lot sweeter than a grapefruit.  Not what I would call a dwarf, but I suppose it would probably have been a lot bigger from seed.  Good fruit but gets attacked by fruit fly.
