Bay Area–Based Nursery

We specialize in plants grown and delivered in their original pots and soil.
Because of their size and weight, our plants are not suitable for long-distance shipping and are delivered locally to ensure health and quality.

While delivery is limited to our local service area, we’re happy to support garden design and plant selection remotely.

For local plant professionals, we’re always glad to connect and explore ways to support your customers.

The Chandler Pomelo is a spectacular citrus variety that brings the exotic, sweet taste of Southeast Asia to your garden. As one of the largest and sweetest citrus fruits, it produces massive, seedless fruit with beautiful pink flesh and a remarkably mild, pleasant flavor that is perfect for fresh eating, making it a show-stopping centerpiece for any Bay Area edible landscape.

Produces exceptionally large, round fruit with a thick, golden-yellow rind and attractive, granular-textured pink to deep pink flesh.
Flavor is pleasantly sweet and mild with just a hint of acidity, offering a delightful eating experience without the typical grapefruit bitterness.
A seedless (or nearly seedless) variety, making it incredibly convenient for fresh consumption and culinary use.
A compact, semi-dwarf evergreen tree with a low, spreading canopy that is well-suited for residential gardens and easier harvesting.
An early-ripening pomelo, with fruit beginning to mature from mid to late October.
The flesh is known for its complex and varied flavor profile within the same fruit, ranging from sweet to subtly tangy notes.

Flavor Profile:

Flavor: Predominantly sweet and mild, with a pleasant, low-acid tang and no bitterness.
Texture: Juicy with a distinctive, large-grained, crisp texture that is less juicy than an orange but very refreshing.
Best Uses: Primarily a superb fresh-eating fruit, perfect for peeling and segmenting. Also excellent in fruit salads, as a unique dessert garnish, or for making a mild, sweet citrus salad.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

Q: How do I know when a Chandler Pomelo is ripe?A: The fruit is typically ripe from mid-October onward. Indicators include a full golden-yellow skin color and the fruit feeling heavy for its size. The rind may also develop a slightly bumpy texture and give slightly under gentle pressure.
Q: Is it easier to grow than a grapefruit?A: Its compact growth habit makes it more manageable in size for home gardens. It shares similar climate requirements with grapefruit, thriving in warm, frost-free areas (USDA Zone 9-10) with full sun.
Q: How do you eat it?A: Unlike an orange, you typically peel the thick rind and then separate the large segments. The membrane around each segment is also thick and is usually peeled away to enjoy the tender, juicy pulp inside.
