Pomelo bonsai

[peredoz]

Hi, I've reached to get some piece of plants from the Pomelo seeds.
It was the end of the summer when I first saw the little plant. Then it grew up a little, gave some leaves and now it is about 10-15 cm height. Does anybody now something about Bonsai from Pomelo?

Judging by no one responding and no info at first glance on the internet, you might be going in uncharted territory by trying to bonsai this species (Citrus maxima).

The only drawback I can see is the size of the leaves. They seem a bit large for bonsai. That is not to say it cannot be done. If they can be reduced by some technique then it is possible.

Giving it a try can't hurt anything. I never heard of this fruit before until now. Maybe someone here will come along that knows something.

Pomelo's are those really large citrus fruits, aren't they? Wouldn't that be way too heavy to have as Bonsai? (sincere question btw.)

we do grow them here for the fruit but only grafted plants which bear in 3 to 4 years.It is much the same as any orange or lemon tree
but the fruits are about the size of a small football
you will need to grow it as a 3 or 4 foot bonsai
