You would be surprised at the number of grapefruit trees growing in the Charleston area.

Laaz,
I guess I should check mine. They have been looking good for a while now. I'll try some out and try to get some pictures. Looking at yours is making me hungry.

The reds are pretty much ripe now, the whites still have a few weeks.

Looking at the last couple grapefruit pictures that Laaz posted, you can see why they were originally named GRAPEfruit. As they hang on the tree, they have the shape of a cluster of grapes. - Millet (406-) |
