Planting Guide:
- Choose the Right Location: Select a sunny, well-drained spot for your Pomelo tree. Pomelos require full sunlight to thrive and produce delicious fruit.
- Prepare the Soil: Ensure the soil is loose, well-draining, and slightly acidic (pH 6.0-6.5). If the soil is heavy or clay-like, amend it with organic matter for better drainage.
- Plant the Seeds: Plant Pomelo Fruit Seeds 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) deep, spacing them 12-15 feet (3.5-4.5 meters) apart for optimal growth.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot. Water regularly during dry spells.
- Care for the Tree: Provide the tree with full sunlight, and prune any dead or damaged branches to encourage healthy growth. Fertilize the tree occasionally to ensure strong, healthy fruiting.
- Harvesting: Pomelos are ready for harvest when they turn a pale yellow or greenish-yellow and are easy to remove from the tree. They should be firm but slightly soft to the touch.
