Longevity Shatian Pomelo Maturity Time

1. Maturity Time

It is a mid-ripening variety that usually blooms in April. The fruits will mature after late October, and November is the best time to harvest. However, you can see it on sale in the market around the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it doesn’t taste good at that time. If you want to eat it more deliciously, you should wait until after the Frost Descent. At this time, it is basically fully ripe and tastes better.
