    The Hirado Pomelo (Citrus maxima 'Hirado') is a prized citrus tree known for producing exceptionally large, sweet-tart fruits with thick, spongy rinds and pale-yellow, juicy interiors. This Japanese cultivar is particularly valued for its mild flavor and low acidity, making it a favorite among pomelo enthusiasts. When mature, the tree develops an attractive, rounded canopy filled with glossy, evergreen foliage and fragrant white blossoms that appear in spring and early summer. Each bloom holds the promise of a sizeable fruit, with some pomelos reaching up to 4–6 inches in diameter. The Hirado Pomelo tree performs well in warm climates and can also be grown in large containers in cooler regions, allowing for seasonal relocation indoors. With proper care and the right environment, this tree can serve as both an eye-catching landscape specimen and a fruitful addition to your edible garden. Its manageable size, ornamental appeal, and delicious harvest make the Hirado Pomelo an excellent choice for citrus growers of all experience levels.

    • Physical Characteristics: Features dark green, glossy leaves and produces large, rounded fruits with pale-yellow flesh and thick, easy-to-peel rinds. The tree is adorned with fragrant white blooms, offering both visual appeal and seasonal fragrance.

    • Sunlight Requirements: The Hirado Pomelo tree thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Providing ample light encourages healthy foliage growth and optimal fruit production during the growing season.

    • Watering Needs: Water regularly during the growing season, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during the cooler months.

    • Soil Preferences: Prefers well-draining, sandy or loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure good drainage to avoid root stress and promote healthy root development, especially in container-grown trees.

    • Growth Rate and Climate: Moderate grower that reaches 12–20 feet tall when planted in-ground, but can be pruned to maintain a compact size in containers. Hardy in USDA Zones 9–11. In cooler zones, bring indoors before the first frost.

    Testimonials

    "Came in perfect condition--thank you!"

    Natalie

    "Amazing Plants! I was so happy to see these way larger than the plants pictured because I know how slow most cycads grow."

    Matthew

    "This is the first time I've ever ordered plants online, so I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the description of 'comes in a 4" growers' pot' I figured I'd be getting some fairly small plants--nope! The bamboo palms were fully 2' tall from root to top leaf, and perfectly healthy. All 5 plants were VERY well secured in their box, to the point that the bottom layer was even spray-foamed to the cardboard! I couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm so excited to see these plants grow. Five stars!"

    Nathaniel

    "Thrilled with my purchase! This seller went above any beyond! The packaging was very careful, the plants are so much bigger than I expected, and I was given more than what was depicted in the item description. 10/10 all round!"

    Trisha

    "This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Packaging was perfect and efficient, plant was in excellent condition. I'm in love with this plant and I will definitely order more."
