Description | The pumelo tree itself has a compact, low canopy somewhat rounded or umbrella in shape, with evergreen foliage. The leaves are ovate, glossy, and medium green, while spring flowers are showy, aromatic, and white.In fact, the flowers are so fragrant the scent is used in some perfumes. The resulting fruit is borne off the tree in winter, spring, or summer, depending upon the climate.Pomelo trees can be grown from seed, but bring your patience as the tree will likely not fruit for at least eight years. They can be air layered or grafted onto existing citrus rootstock as well. As with all citrus trees, pummelo trees enjoy full sun, especially hot, rainy climates. |
