1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Remove the stake and ties at planting, as these are only for shipping. Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil for optimal growth, ensuring the tree has enough space to thrive.

2. Watering: Water your Tahitian pummelo tree regularly, especially in dry spells. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering, as too much water can lead to root rot.

3. Pruning: Prune after fruit has been harvested to remove any dead or damaged limbs and to shape the tree. This promotes healthy growth and helps improve air circulation, reducing the risk of disease.

4. Fertilizing: Fertilize your tree with a balanced citrus fertilizer in the spring and summer to support fruit development. Follow the package instructions for the right amounts to apply.

5. Container Growth: In zones that experience frost/freeze, citrus can be grown in containers and brought indoors for winter. Choose a container with drainage holes that is 2” larger in diameter than it’s nursery pot. Be sure not to over pot, as this can result in root rot. Use a citrus potting mix or mix a 1:1 ratio of potting mix and perlite. Place in 6 hours of sun, moving the plant into afternoon shade in the hottest parts of the summer. Once the temperatures hit 50 F in fall, move plants indoors by a sunny window or supplement with a full spectrum grow light. Reduce watering in winter and check regularly for spider mites. Fertilize spring-early fall with a citrus specific fertilizer and stop fertilizing in winter while the plant slows its growth. Prune after harvest to reduce height. Expect plants to get up to 6 feet in a container.
