Watson’s Choice Pummelo is a vigorous evergreen citrus known for producing large, juicy fruit with a sweet grapefruit-like flavour. While slightly smaller than some other pummelo varieties, it still delivers impressive fruit size and excellent eating quality.
This variety produces fragrant white blossoms followed by heavy crops of fruit that ripen from late June onwards. It is self-pollinating and well-suited to warm, sunny gardens where it can develop into a strong feature fruiting tree.
