Growing
Because pomelos are a primary ancestor to many common citrus varieties, including the grapefruit and bitter orange, they possess a robust genetic lineage. When growing your own, you can start from seed or use grafted nursery stock. If you are working with a limited space, this species grows well in a container, provided you ensure the soil is not waterlogged and maintains a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. Since even a light frost can kill the tree, it is vital to plant in a location that offers protection or to move containers indoors if temperatures drop.
Unlike many other fruits, a single pomelo tree is capable of setting fruit on its own without needing a second tree for pollination, and the blossoms are excellent for attracting pollinators to your garden. When the fruit reaches maturity, you must harvest it while it is ready to use, as the pomelo does not continue to ripen once it has been picked from the branch. To keep your harvest fresh, store the fruit unwashed at room temperature or in a cool, dark cellar.
