Frequently asked questions
Do pomelo trees grow well in the Bay Area?
Yes—pomelos can do well in Bay Area microclimates with full sun, warmth, and protection from cold winds. Inland and sheltered coastal spots tend to perform best.
How much sun does a pomelo tree need?
Aim for full sun, ideally 6–8+ hours daily, for best growth and fruit quality.
When will my pomelo tree produce fruit?
Most grafted trees can begin fruiting in a few years under good care. Weather, container size, and sunlight can speed up or slow down timelines.
Can I grow a pomelo tree in a container?
Yes. Use a large pot with excellent drainage, high-quality citrus mix, and regular feeding. Container trees may need more frequent watering and winter protection.
How often should I water pomelo trees?
Water deeply, then let the top layer of soil partially dry before the next watering. Frequency depends on heat, wind, soil type, and whether it’s in-ground or potted.
