Ripening grapefruits

These Ruby Red grapefruits are almost ripe. Their rinds don't look quite as perfect and blemish-free as the ones at the supermarket, but we know from past experience that the grapefruits from this tree are particularly sweet and juicy. [Click on the photo to enlarge.]

Very nice to watch with anticipation the ripening of the fruit on your trees. I like the muted changes of colour.

Hi Becky and Barbara - It's rare that we have no fresh fruit available from our own trees, and we feel fortunate for that.

Looks like quite a harvest is coming your way - enjoy!

Hi Kathy - That tree is completely laden with fruit. We'll probably have to juice a lot of them and then freeze the juice for later.
