Pomelo is a low-branching, evergreen tree growing 5 - 10 metres tall with occasional specimens up to 15 metres. The spreading branches bear spines up to 5cm long, though there are some forms in cultivation that are free of spines.The tree is widely cultivated for its edible fruit in tropical and subtropical regions. It is especially popular in Thailand where a range of excellent quality cultivars have been developed. These forms are usually small trees with a spreading habit; fruit with thin rind and firm, crisp flesh, not very juicy; fruit often seedless or with shrivelled seed
Additional pomelo tree care requires not only full sun exposure, but also moist soil. Growing pomelo trees are not picky regarding their soil and will thrive equally in clay, loam or sand with a highly acidic and highly alkaline pH. Regardless of the soil type, provide the pomelo with good drainage and water at least once a week.
To support fruit formation, reduce each new shoot by about half its length, taking great care to cut just above a pair of leaves, an eye, a bud.
