grapefruit tree

Grows tart spheres

A grapefruit tree is a citrus tree that produces grapefruits—large, round, yellow-skinned fruit with tart, slightly bitter flesh.

Native to the Caribbean, grapefruit trees thrive in subtropical climates and can grow quite large: The grapefruit tree in the backyard was heavy with fruit by December.
