Grapefruit

Grapefruit is often the second choice in citrus fruits to compliment orange trees. The Duncan variety is one of the best for home use, its quality compensating for its seediness. Many people prefer a red-fleshed variety like 'Redblush' or 'Flame' because of the combination of flesh color and seedlessness. Grapefruit trees are very heavy yielding and maintain good fruit quality for harvest over an extended period each year. Usually, a single grapefruit tree suffices, whereas several sweet orange trees may be wanted.
