This photo of my pomelo plant was taken more than a week ago and now it is the size of a tennis ball. There was another pomelo fruit but that dropped off when it was about a fifty sen coin. Hopefully this one will grow to its full size and I have wrapped up the pomelo with a piece of paper to prevent any insects from attacking it.
I was so happy when the first batch of pomelos came out last year but it was shortlived. Both dropped off when they were the size of a fifty sen coin. Subsequently the tree bore another fruit and this time it grew until the size bigger than a tennis ball (diameter about 3.5 "). My happiness was shortlived when it couldn't last and dropped off too. What a big disappointment!
This is a medium size pomelo which my colleague, Shin Yuan brought to the office to share. It costs RM8.00. The flesh is sweet and springy. This fruit is so refreshing!
