 Grapefruit is actually a hybrid newcomer to the fruit realm. The word "citrus" is from the Greek "Kedromelon", and "paradisi" (the species name) means the fruit comes from "paradise". Grapefruit is believed to be native to Jamaica. It is sometimes confused with the " pomelo" (Citrus maxima), which is a larger, pear-shaped relative to Citrus paradisi The Grapefruit tree can grow to a height of 26 to 30 feet. Grapefruits are round, with a diameter of between 4 and 6 inches. Their thin skin may be either completely yellow or yellow with a pinkish hue. The pulp of the fruit may be yellow, pinkish, or reddish. It can be more or less sharp-tasting, acidic, sweet, and fragrant. Grapefruit is so named because it grows in grape-like clusters.
