Just to touch on the red coloring in grapefruit... If you cut a branch off, the sap is red. I have cut some down that I planted in bad spots & trunk looked like it was bleeding. _________________ Wal-Mart a great place to buy cheap plastic crap ! http://walmartwatch.com/ ...

Both, although all the ones I have cut down were on their own roots. _________________ Wal-Mart a great place to buy cheap plastic crap ! http://walmartwatch.com/ ...

Grapefruit will grow quite a bit larger than 2 meters. If it is grafted on a dwarfing rootstock it will be a bit smaller, but grapefruit grow as very large trees. _________________ Wal-Mart a great place to buy cheap plastic crap ! http://walmartwatch.com/ ...

Try growing some from seed, that way they will produce large trees. _________________ Wal-Mart a great place to buy cheap plastic crap ! http://walmartwatch.com/ ...

My pummelo seedling is like that, Laaz. Tall, lanky, and big. No flowers this year so far, bummer. _________________ Patty S.

You see that palm in the back? It is now taller than my two story house.

Why yes I do, Laaz. All pummelos and many pummelo hybrids are monembryonic. That's why I got this Tahitian pumello seedling for $5.00 from my local nursery. I informed them that this was not a Tahitian pumello, but some unknown hybrid, and since they couldn't sell it for $50.00, I'd be happy to take it off their hands for $5.00 It is my "experiment" in my little citrus orchard. _________________ Patty S.
