Plant Sentry is designed to protect both consumers and the nursery trade from invasive plant pests and diseases. Sites that display the Plant Sentry protection badge are protected from consumers buying and nurseries shipping material carrying invasive pests and diseases.

This proprietary eCommerce software prevents the shipment of a restricted plant to each state. The Plant Sentry system includes a shipment certification program. The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

The delicious Valentine Pummelo Tree (Citrus maxima 'Valentine'), sometimes spelled Pomelo, is a relatively new fruit on the market and we are very proud to offer it to you. The fruit are heavy for their size and ripen around February 14 every year. A cross between a Pummelo and a Blood Orange gives the flesh its deep red color and sweet-tart taste.

If you are lucky enough to live where Citrus Trees flourish, you'll want to give Valentine a try. The fragrant white blossoms will be buzzing with pollinators and quickly start to swell into these enormous yellow-rinded fruits with delightful pink flesh.

It's very similar to the traditional Grapefruit but with some distinct bonuses. Aside from its noticeably larger size, and its exotic, sweet, juicy flavor, it is much easier to segment than the traditional Grapefruit!

Planting and Application:

Protected by a thick layer of rind, these rounded fruits are beautiful to behold and the tree is highly ornamental when in bloom and when dripping in enormous fruit! Go ahead and use this double-duty Citrus Tree as a fantastic shade or specimen plant in both front and back yard landscaping! The evergreen foliage looks handsome year-round. Cool your seating areas around pools, patios, and terraces, just don't sit directly underneath one when the fruit is ripe.;

Either plant as a bush as a hedge or privacy screen, or trim up into a multi-trunked tree, the choice is yours! In colder climates plant it in a container on the patio or deck to move it indoors before the first frost. Plant it in a container on the balcony, or keep it year-round as a houseplant. No matter where you live, you can enjoy this huge, sweet, healthy fruit!

  • Juicy & Heart Shaped Yellow Fruit
  • Sweet-Tart Red Flesh
  • Fresh Eating & Juiced
  • Ripens February to March
  • Heavy Bearing

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Citrus trees do best in the full sun only. Plant in a very well-drained, loose soil and allow it to dry out slightly between waterings, and ensure containers have very good drainage. Provide regular fertilizer and soil on the acidic side.

Although Citrus can grow year-round in warmer regions (zones 9 and 10), they can also thrive in colder areas (zones 4 to 7) as long as the tree is brought indoors before the first frost of winter.

In zone 8, you can cover your tree in the event of a cold snap or unexpected overnight freeze. Citrus will need to be planted in a sheltered spot to avoid the worst of the chill, and not planted in a low area that collects cold air. If a spot like that is unavailable, or you are in a chill-prone climate, then you are safer planting Citrus Trees in a large, deep container with wheels to easily move them to a protected location or indoors when needed.

In cold growing zones, begin slowly acclimating your tree indoors in the fall, or into a protected location, eventually moving your tree inside. Indoor plants need a bright indirect sun window, greenhouse, sunroom, or enclosed patio for the winter. In spring, reverse this process and begin acclimating your tree to again be back out in the full sun all summer. This reduces stress and leaf drop.
