Pomelo pruning
Lory:
My 2 grafted pomelos are both about 3 years old.
In general they look quite healthy but i'm a bit worried because the branches are spreading and have a "dropping" ruffled look as if the top the new growth were too heavy
Should i prune them? And if yes, severely? Or this is the normal shape of their canopy?
To be noticed that (unfortunately) they never flowered/fruited yet.... :(
Thanks for any advice!
Millet:
My advise would be leave them be, no pruning. As they grow they will develop a nice round shape.
Lory:
Ok I will let them grow freely then.
How many years could it take for them to bear fruit according to your experience?
Thanks !
Millet:
You say they are grafted trees. If they were grafted with a mature pummelo scion, they should fruit at any time. I'm a little surprised that they have not already set some blooms.
Lory:
I'm surprised as well.
They come from a reputable nursery in Davao City should be reliable.
Maybe the trees need just to get a little bit tougher in order to bear those cannonball-size fruits.
I hope soon!
