Plants with green-skinned pomelo can be grown all year long. Farmers will therefore select the start of the rainy season to avoid having to irrigate the plants. Fruit harvest typically takes place between May and June. But that relies on the season or the plant's capacity for growth.

Additionally, it is best to gather green-skinned pomelo when it is still chilly outside. When cutting, it should be done lightly and meticulously. The family will avoid picking the fruit while the sun is hot since it is more likely to crack.

Harvesting must also be restricted in situations where it has rained or been foggy. The pomelo is too wet or easily permeable due to its damp condition, which causes deterioration when stored.
