Mato Buntan pummelo I grafted on a Meyer lemon 4 years ago finally set fruit.
Unfortunately during a wind storm the main branch broke. I put a splint on it as a temporary fix but I fear the pommelo is not to be. I think I will cut the branch below the graft and try a shiranui this time.

First Pursha sweet lime fruit… It’s like a lime that you can eat out of hand. It’s acid but not too much. It’s refreshing and aromatic. I like it a lot! :grin:
