Enjoy your plants! I had a calamondin for many years in MD; I used the fruit to make 1 cup of extraordinary marmalade annually that I guarded like a hawk. (It wasn't that watered down supermarket stuff; 1/2 teaspoon flavored an English muffin.)

I think my Pomelo is teasing me, I swear it had buds for a day then they went away.

Hey Matt, very cool, could you show a pic of the tree itself, the trunk and the pot? I have one passed on to me from my mother, supposed to have been from a seed from her breakfast some 25 years ago. never knew it to flower, didn't think it could in its pot.
I would just like to compare, Thanks

The larger fruit is changing color. They will be ready at different times. It still seems way to early for it to be ripening. The tree flowered in Early July of 2016 I know normally they do ripen in the winter. what do you think?

Sadly, now that I live where I can grow tropicals, I long for my beloved Northern fruits. A true cherry, a non mealy apple, a peach that makes you cry with delight when it drips down your arms and a tomato that doesn't taste like a greenhouse reject. Good on you for getting your exotics to produce against all odds.

Is your lack of success with apples and cherries because the blossoms get froze off?
