⚠️ Please note - pets
Like all citrus trees, the peel, leaves, seeds, and essential oils of pomelos are toxic to dogs and cats. They contain psoralens and oils that can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and depression. The flesh itself is safe in small amounts (but the sugar and acidity can cause stomach upset). Recommended: Do not leave peels or fallen fruit within reach of animals.
💡 Pro tip
Citrus Fertilization: Fertilize 3-4 times a year with a special citrus fertilizer (rich in nitrogen and iron). Do not fertilize in winter! Pruning: Prune weak and dead branches, maintain an open shape to the light. Picking: The fruit is ripe when the peel turns yellow and gives slightly to pressure. Pomelo improves after picking - store indoors for a week or two 🍈
