I got a pomelo seed sprouted. It is about 4 inches tall
now. I was not optimistic, but one out of ten or so worked.
DW got a pomelo about six weeks ago, and it had seeds.
They are not that great, sort of like a big, sweet grapefruit.
I can add it to the citrus list of things I grew. Orange,
lemon and now this thing.

I saw the picture of your lemon plant. I only got mine
about 2.5 feet tall before it started to die off, but yours
went all the way to the ceiling!

I wanted to try another orange, but I could not find any
with seeds. Those clementines they sell around Xmas
that came from Morocco used to be full of seeds. I
got two lots, one from Morocco and the other from
Spain. No seeds. They must have figured out that
propagating the orchards with cuttings from a mother
plant was more efficient.

My lemon is still going but not as nicely as my daughters, her's has
stayed lower and more bushy and we reckon there could be some lemons
in the future.

I haven't seen pomelos in ages, I always liked them but maybe they
were not popular enough around here.
