Pomelo, anyone?

Sorry for being dense!!
You mean changing the size of the pot or change the soil every 3 years? I hope it!s the latter!!

Pot size 12 gallon for ever!

Where did you source your 12 gallon pots? When you change the medium, it looks like you pruned off a good chunk of roots? This is so helpful, thank you.


These pots are from Italy but available, here.
I don’t remember wich company. Very sturdy handles. I bought a dozen, a long time ago and they are tested as you can see!
Amazon has a pot, also made in Italy but I only paid $17.each then. So, it might not be available anymore!

Wow those are great looking. It’s hard to find a taller 10 let alone a 12 with handles. If you end up seeing the name on the bottom of one, please post it. I would love to get some!

All my citrus trees and fig container trees are all gone! No more plants and trees.

@aap . Thank you.

@tonyOmahaz5 I went to a local supermarket called Price Rite. It usually sells a variety of sub tropical and tropical fruit. Large pomelos are $2.99 each. I bought 10. They are juicier and tastier than the ones from Costco.

Your Valentine pomelo looked like red grapefruit. I like pomelos that can be easily separate in sections.

Yes me too… Valentine is not a real pomelo but a pomelo hybrid. But its sooo good flavo, really yummy!

A little added about my soil: the use of Turfface and new peat moss, those 2 need to be soaked for 2 days then mix with whatever you choose.
Finished tree need to be moved to a shaded spot for 4 days at least.

Um, how is this possible? It looks like the fruit has two stems.

I want to grow some pommels in pots but they are just too big of a tree.
