Me : I have pomelo flowers!
Friend : For breakfast?
Me : ON the tree
Friend : Picture?
Me : Flower buds
Friend : Nice
Let’s hope I have better luck this year! For last year’s saga of the pomelo flowers and fruit, go to
Pomelo Plant in a Pot – for the flowers and early fruit
Pomelo Update – for the growing fruit
Best of luck! I hope there are no insects this time around. I want to know how it tastes! I’ve never heard of a pomelo before! (And neither has my spell check, apparently!)

Thank you! A pomelo looks like a huge grapefruit, only it has larger hips. The best part about eating it (to me) is the sensation of bursting juicy pips. Tastewise it varies from sweet to tangy to slightly bitter.

Lucky you! We can’t eat pomelo because it reacts with our medication. Sigh.. We call pomelo zabon in Hawaii.

Really? I heard it for grapefruit but didn’t know it applies to pomelos too. Apart from eating it as it is, it is used in Thai salads and some desserts too.

I remember the Thai pomelo’s. They were so big and full of flavour.
