My Edible Fruit Trees: Pummelo Trees
Pummelo - Carters Red (Grafted) 3/10![]() Update: 101 days 24hrs 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.

Dwarf Pummelo Nam Roi (Grafted) 7/10![]() Update: 2458 days 23hrs 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.

I can send pic of plant, thank yopubertybeetle says... [3353 days 0hrs ago] Sorry hate the autocorrectEdward3 says... [3351 days 23hrs ago] Edward3 says... [3351 days 23hrs ago] I am not an expert but I am happy to take a look at your photo if you send it to my email address given at the top left. For some reason my tree this year does not look so healthy either and has only produced one fruit. Butu that could be due to the very dry spring we had end of 2015.* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |

pummelo (Seedling) 5/10![]() Update: 5161 days 20hrs Comments: - This is one of the citrus fruits with the finest taste Planted: 2006 Height 1 metres Growing: In a Pot Sun/Shade: Low Sun Water Given in: Spring Pollination: No When I Fertilise: Never Organic Status:Certified Question: Every three to four months, my 2 pomelo trees get new leaves. But after a few weeks, leaves become clearer green, some weeks later, they start to get white to yellow spots that are enlarging until the leaf becomes mostly white. At that moment, it starts to dry out, getting wholes in the leaf, until it is completely dried out and falls off. Was this review helpful?
