Pomelo

Overview

Pomelo (Citrus maxima) is the largest citrus fruit, reaching diameters up to 12 inches. A tropical tree that matures to 15-50 feet tall, it showcases lush, glossy foliage. Its fragrant blooms precede the hefty, yellow-green fruits with a sweet-tart flavor. This tree thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, requiring moderate water. Ideal for accent planting, it provides a striking aesthetic and culinary delight in warmer climates (USDA zones 9-11).
