I’ve grown lemons and limes from seed before, and these pummellos are just as satisfying. The plants are strong and upright, and I love the thought of harvesting my own giant citrus someday.
Seeds arrived fresh and well-packed. I soaked them overnight, and most sprouted within two weeks. They’re growing under a sunny window and doing really well so far.
These make beautiful indoor plants with their glossy green leaves and sturdy stems. I’ve had mine for about a year now, and while there’s no fruit yet, it adds a tropical vibe to my space.
Out of 10 seeds, 9 sprouted with a little heat and humidity. They’re now sturdy little trees in pots on my patio. If you’re a citrus lover and have the time, this one’s worth it.
Pummello takes patience, but the seedlings are growing beautifully. I keep mine under a grow light during cooler months. Very exciting to watch them develop—can’t wait to taste that sweet citrus someday.
