Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Pummelo Citrus Tree, Citrus maxima
One of the largest fruiting citrus in cultivation, Citrus maxima delivers bold structure, fragrant blossom, and substantial fruit on a single specimen. Advanced stock means established canopy, root development, and near-term fruiting, without the years of establishment required from younger plants.
Why Pummelo
Impressive Fruit Scale: Produces some of the largest citrus fruit available, with individual specimens reaching melon proportions.
Ornamental Year-Round: Dense, glossy foliage and highly fragrant white blossom provide strong landscape presence beyond the fruiting season.
Climate Resilience: Well-suited to Australia's warm and subtropical zones; tolerates heat and periods of reduced water once established.
Self-Pollinating: A single specimen is sufficient for reliable fruit set, simplifying placement within a landscape plan.
Advanced Stock Advantage: Mature specimens sourced from Nursery Direct arrive with the structure and vigour to perform immediately within a professional landscape.
Ideal Applications
Productive Formal Orchards: A statement specimen within structured kitchen garden or orchard plantings on prestige residential properties.
Courtyard Anchoring: Provides canopy, fragrance, and seasonal interest within enclosed entertaining or transition spaces.
Tropical and Mediterranean Compositions: Integrates seamlessly into warm-climate planting schemes alongside palms, figs, and broad-leafed exotics.
Large Container Placement: Suited to oversized planter installations on terraces, pool surrounds, and commercial hospitality projects.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (feature/avenue): 5–8m
Planting Season: Spring to early summer
Soil & Drainage: Well-drained, fertile loam or sandy loam; slightly acidic to neutral pH 5.5–7.0; avoid waterlogged soils
Establishment Care: Water deeply and regularly during the first 1–2 years to establish a strong root system, reducing frequency once the tree is established. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base, keeping it clear of the trunk, to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
