They probably like the tropics a bit more than colder Cape town, I want to pick the blossoms for the house, but they seem to open one at a time! Now if I had 3 trees like you..I'd pick with wild abandon!! xKaren Bekkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05546950816491796108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294591135492198062.post-11101807546897622662011-08-05T15:05:32.257-07:002011-08-05T15:05:32.257-07:00Karen I hate to burst your bubble, but my three r...Karen I hate to burst your bubble, but my three ruby grapefruit trees on the farm in Zululand, are 3m tall but almost 5 m in diameter.
