Luisport:
Hi everyone! Here in Portugal, tree sellers say that pomelo and grapefruit are the same thing and that pomelo is the french name for grapefruit... i think it's not but like to know what experts can say. Thank's!  ;D

Millet:
That because of the French name for grapefruit being almost the same as the English name for Citrus Maxima which in English is  Pummelo. .  Instead of using pumelo, when talking to Portugal tree seller try using the actual scientific name Citrus Maxima. - Millet
