A lot of the orange trees are ornamental and were not grafted. Makes them bitter and not hardly edible.

My wife had to prune our tree as the hardly edible part had been starting to take over. I don't believe the grapefruit trees have the same problem. I know nothing about horticulture, though, so I should just shut up.

I’ve asked my landscaper to find me a sweet seedless dwarf lemon tree and plant it. had one but it died of root rot problems because it was on a daily drip system. For seven years I had it giving me the best lemonade in the winter as the fruit matured. The seedless orange tree I have nearby is still going strong and its fruit is very sweet as well.

I wish I had asked him to get me another two of each.

You obviously know more than the California orange growers. All they send us are dry sawdust balls with a hint of bitter sourness if they have any flavor at all.
