Hello Ilya,
I'm also fan of Pomelos. Besides my fruiting Chandler I still have Sarawak, Bloomsweet and Honey Pomelo, but these three haven' t bloomed yet.
Is Taitian the same as Sarawak ?
I think Chironja should also have good fruits ?
Due to different opinions to Chandler, and driven by curiosity I harvested a fruit end November ( blooming in march) and was positive surprised concerning juice and taste, better than I expected, due to my cultivation possibilities, with keeping it outside of the greenhouse until End of October with night temperatures often below 10 Grad Celsius.
best regards Frank

Tedburn, I'm guessing in growing a Chandler pummelo in zone 7 and leaving outside, that the fruit did not turn very pink in color.

Ilya11 I see you are in zone 8, did you grow the taitian pummelo, and if so was it grown outside year around?

Hello Millet,
you are right, the pomelo flesh did not turn pink up to know.
Still 2 fruits hanging on the tree, I will taste them next year between January and April and see how color and taste develop. But now they are in the greenhouse, heated only if temperature goes below 1 Grad Celsius.

Tedburn, yes, Sarawak is considered as a synonym of Taitian.

Millet, I am growing some varieties in pots that are kept in cold frame during the two winter months, but later are moved to conservatory. Taitian is in flowers at the beginning of March and fruits begin to be edible in November.

Thanks Ilya, so I' m glad. Also up to now my Sarawak shows a good healthy growth with wonderful green leafs, more intensive than chandler and I' ve also the impression that she has a relative good cold tolerance. During some cold nights she didn' t get hurt at new growth, while other Citrus get hurt at new growth.

Some of my pomelo fruits dropped due to our Santa Ana winds so I decided to pick a few other sample fruits to show some size comparison.

Wow, that is a lot of different varieties pomelos.

Forgot the Thong Dee on my tree, still not ripe yet.

sc4001992，
Nice pictures and great fruits. For Ponkan and Kiyomi, how do you rank them when compared with Kishu, in terms of sweet, taste/flavor, easy to peel?

I was fortunate to have eaten some of these pomelo when visiting the village near Canton with my parents back in the early 80s. Thinking back, as a clueless kid I didn't appreciate it. Not even the dish cooked with the white rinds. Ironically, I think the seeds my dad planted planted finally fruited when he sold the farm.

Sorry Heinrich, didn't mean to hijack your post.

This is a picture I found online.
A lot of people in Canton area said Shatian pomelo is king of pomelo.

The following link is the pic of my first and only fruit.

Look at all those seeds! Do all pomelos exhibit such seediness? Because my tasteless Chandler has beaux coups seeds.

pinkturtle · « **Reply #36 on:** December 06, 2020, 03:32:43 PM »

The white rinds dish is classic. It is so good, it suck up all the juice of the dish. I hadn't have it for long time, bring back some old memories.

JakeFruit · « **Reply #37 on:** December 12, 2020, 08:15:25 AM »

What's the recipe/dish made with pomelo rinds? I eat red pomelos (bought from Trader Joes) constantly this time of year, I've just been throwing the rinds out.

Wow, I cannot look at that without thinking it's marinated tuna. Sounds like a lot of work, but I do have a pressure cooker. I'll give it a shot over the holidays, thanks for the links!

There's another dish that I remember, pomelo whites, fried pork skin/chicharrón, shrimp paste, steamed and garnished with scallions. Tasty with that bit of fat under the skin - a little bacon make anything taste better!

My mom made that occasionally but being super unhealthy, its been years since last eating.

JakeFruit · « **Reply #43 on:** December 14, 2020, 09:42:19 AM »

That does sound more up my alley, but I've made a pact with myself to stay away from anything that comes close to bacon for the next 10 years.

Here you see the thai pomelo's. We have big ones.

Heinrich · « **Reply #45 on:** December 25, 2020, 04:18:50 PM »

These days, we had the white pomelo. It was alright, but not as excellent as the red pomelo. Not as juicy, and not as sweet. Maybe it wasn´t ripe enough, at harvest time. Also, it was the first fruiting and fruit quality may improve in the following years.

slopat · « **Reply #46 on:** December 26, 2020, 03:01:28 PM »

Only about a quarter of the usual vendors at this mornings farmers market being gloomy, foggy, drizzling, and the day after Christmas. A farm from Exeter was here selling citrus, pomelos at $2 ea or 3 for $5. Tahitian pomelos and some larger ones with pinkish rinds and red meat. It was juicy and slightly sweet with at least 7 or 8 seeds per piece. Pretty good fruit. I'll try the tahitian later.

Looking forward to buy even more next week!

And breakfast also included French toast and BACON

One year, my clementine trees got cross pollinated by bees. Every fruits get more than twenty big seeds which just look like yours.
