Under Construction

A Little Birdie created a new topic ' "Cocktail Grapefruit" Citrus hybrid RUTACEAE' in the forum.
9 years ago
Apparently this fruit was never officially released for public use. I have a large tree in my yard and it's a beauty. I live by UC Riverside and I would guess the original home owners purchased stock from a nearby nursery.
Large yellow-orange fruits, super sweet, tons of seeds, best for juicing. Reference:

Biographical Information
My mother had a huge garden when I was little that I helped in. I had many years of living in the city and no gardening per se. However, I am now on 1 acre with 15 citrus tees and a huge space for gardening. I want to be more self-sustainable and possibly plant/prepare for a market garden. I hope to also have bees and chickens in the near future.
