Tahitian Pummelo
Pummelo ‘Tahitian’
Citrus maxima 'Tahitian', commonly known as the Tahitian Pummelo, is a majestic, evergreen citrus tree prized for producing the largest and one of the sweetest fruits in the citrus family. This vigorous, upright grower features glossy, dark green leaves, large fragrant white flowers, and a dense, rounded canopy. The fruit is massive, with a thick, pale green to yellow rind and sweet, juicy, pink to reddish flesh that is milder and less acidic than grapefruit. The Tahitian selection is particularly valued for its exceptionally sweet, seedless, and tender flesh with a delicate, refreshing flavor. An outstanding choice for home orchards and edible landscapes in warm climates, it is also well-suited for container growing with proper care.
