Looking good S-H, I see grapefruit on the horizon. Mouth watering delicious grapefruit. Grapefruit now has to go on the shopping list. Jerry
Just here to share 2 more pictures, and to show that my grapefruit tree is doing great! Grapefruit from this year (pic 1) ( photo / image / picture from S-H's Garden ) Grapefruit from this year (pic 2) ( photo / image / picture from S-H's Garden )
When I was growing up we had a grapefruit tree about 6 feet tall. It went outside in the Summer and inside in the Winter every year.... It lived in the same pot the whole time and was replanted every 2 years to give it new soil and to loosen the root system. I think my dad kept it at 6 feet so it could live indoors.
Congrats SH! I'm with you Bip... I've never really liked grapefruit. Ate it as a kid but had to have lots of sugar on it.
Well I'm with Bip too, as growing these things is far more fun than eating them. But it is a citrus, so can't exactly do without in the garden either. And Weretrop, you are correct! As mine too is in a very large clay pot, and is also about 6 feet tall!
And I just took these 2 pictures, of the flowers on this tree - Which of course will turn into harvestable size Grapefruit next year! grapefruit flower 1 ( photo / image / picture from S-H's Garden ) Grapefruit flower 2 ( photo / image / picture from S-H's Garden )
