Fruit of the Vine!

Well, not fruit from a vine, but fruit from tiny citrus trees!


Remember my fruit trees and how I had no clue what kind of citrus each one was? Well -- we were out doing yard work on Sunday and I decided the three trees needed trimming. The limbs on all three are headed down towards the ground rather than up towards the sky.

When I started trimming the low hanging limbs on the largest tree (all three are still what I would call five gallon trees), I found these hidden inside the branches. I left four more on the tree to see if they get any larger.

Yesterday, I cut one open and ate it for breakfast. It was a little like trying to cut the meat off a partridge leg with a knife and fork (been there, done that in a gourmet restaurant), but the grapefuit was surprisingly good! Our first edible bounty from the citrus trees!
