Recommended in a high place
The pomelo tree is the king of citrus! The largest fruit in the citrus family, with huge fruits that can reach a diameter of 30 cm and weigh up to 2 kg! The tree itself is impressive with large, shiny leaves and fragrant yellowish-white blooms. In Israel, it grows excellently outdoors and produces sweet, juicy fruits. Perfect for a garden, a large balcony, or a yard - a tree that combines beauty, a wonderful scent, and delicious fruit!
🌱 Growing conditions
⚠️ Common problems and solutions
- Yellow leaves: Iron deficiency (chlorosis) or overwatering. Add chelated iron.
- Curled leaves: lack of water or aphids. Check watering and pests
- Flower/fruit drop: poor nutrition, water stress, or extreme temperatures
- Woolly/shield aphids: Common on citrus. Treat with mineral oil or potassium soap.
- Citrus moth (miner): "tunnels" in leaves. Remove infected leaves.

💡
Professional tip
The secret to sweet, juicy fruit? Regular, deep watering during fruit development (summer-fall) is key! Lack of water will result in dry fruit with a thick skin. Pruning tip: Prune after harvest (late winter) to maintain a comfortable height and encourage new branches. Remove dead and "old" branches to allow light to penetrate the tree. Why isn't the tree producing fruit? Young trees (less than 4 years old) usually won't produce fruit - be patient!
