Thank you, Lori. You, above all, certainly know how much I enjoy doing it. :)
You know, talking about your grapefruit tree being so fruitful, I feel that way about any fruit or pecan trees. As much as I love fresh, sweet, juicy peaches (and it's not possible to buy them in the grocery store because they taste more like cardboard), when the one big peach tree we had starting dying a few years ago, I was SO happy we could finally have it cut down, and I wouldn't have to go out every evening after the peaches ripened and pick a sack full of them and THEN they had to be peeled and cut up and put away in the freezer. The only thing I miss is getting a package out of the freezer and making a fresh peach cobbler, or just serving them over ice cream. :)
Fruit trees do take a lot of work and tending to. I am keeping my lemon and my navel orange. They bear a reasonable amount of fruit that comes ripe in late winter and they are not as messy at the grapefruit. I had grapefruit falling on the ground constantly, then the fruit rats would come. It was supposed to be a “dwarf”. That’s a laugh. The tree got huge and that one tree probably gave us 150 to 200 grapefruit each winter. What is anyone going to do with that much grapefruit? You can’t give the things away. LOL
