Taste is excellent. Also very cold hardy. I put my tree under a few palms & now have to graft a new one & cut the old one down, it is laying out sideways trying to get sun. _________________ Wal-Mart a great place to buy cheap plastic crap ! http://walmartwatch.com/ ...

Does it actually taste like a Grapefruit? It's a mandarin, sweet pummelo hybrid, so I'm curious. |

Well, that is two thumbs up from two forum VIP's. Cocktail is on the want list!!! I'm not a big grapefruit fan, so this one looked like something I might like. |
