First time I have ever tried to grow fruit, i.e. a relative novice. So you can imagine my surprise and delight when my Raspberries Polkas started to appear a couple of weeks ago (a month early!). Now growing in abundance and with a little bit of added sugar... "Absolutely delicious!!!!"

Description

Yellow skin covers golden-yellow flesh which is juicy and tart. Fruits are of a good size.

Grapefruits make an excellent, healthy breakfast with their sharp, acidic taste they really wake you up in the morning! Packed full of Vitamin C, Potassium and fibre.

A harvest of three to five full-size grapefruits is possible on a five-yearold tree. A mature 20-year-old tree can produce 20 to 30 per year.

Recognised to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.

  • Self fertile.
  • Like a sunny, sheltered position.
  • Prefer free draining, slightly acidic (pH 6 - 6.5) soil.
  • Can be grown outside through the spring and summer months but needs frost protection.
  • Requires a minimum of 5C (41F)and ideally 10C (50F)or higher.
  • Please note that citrus plants will drop leaves with extreme changes in temperature - they usually just re-leaf.
  • Edible flowers.
  • Perfumed flowers.
  • Fruits can take up to 18 months to ripen (but well worth the wait!)
  • Can be grown in pots.
  • Ensure the compost remains moist but doesn't get overly wet.
  • Never let the plant sit in water (as this will cause rot).
  • Feed the trees once a month from April until September and then every three months the rest of the year with a quality, general fertiliser.
  • Any pruning that is required is best done late autumn when the tree is dormant.
