I even have a Satsuma that has fruit on it. They are just now beginning to turn color. My Grapefruit I grew from seed. I don't know if it will ever bloom or set fruit for me and if it does will it be edible. I go to Brownsville every year to visit my Grandmother who winters down there. I always come home with more citrus than one family could ever eat. It is a really nice place down there.

Glad you are getting the rain. We got some today and it really put a halt on my outside work. Tomorrow is no better getting 70 percent chance then too.
I was wanting play around in my compost bin and start a new batch, oh well never mind. The weekend is suppose to be really nice.

I've got three grapefruit babies on my kitchen counter! My aunt grew them in Michigan. She had one tree in her 8ft ceiling livingroom that was all bent over and took up half the room and it grew fruit. Gotta watch out what ya plant to make sure ya have room for it when it grows! (yeah-good advice-should take it myself!!!!!)

ok_nurse,

Well good luck they grow fast! I hope you got room for a green house where you live.

Thank goodness I have a green house. I do believe mine is right at 8 foot now. It is going to be a job to get that thing into the green house though. I was thinking about trying to harden it off through this winter, because next year I won't be able to move it has to go into a much bigger pot! That is encouraging the plant of your Aunts bloomed and produced fruit.
