? For California residents only!! Cocktail Grapefruit Semi Dwarf Tree, 24-36 inches tall, grafted plant. Cocktail grapefruits are a rare, hybrid variety in the Rutaceae or citrus family, developed in Riverside, California, in the mid-20th century. They are a cross between the Siamese sweet pummelo and the frua mandarin. Zones 9-11. ? Both parent varieties of the Cocktail grapefruit have a complicated lineage of multiple, natural crosses, contributing to the fruit’s diverse, sweet, and tangy flavor. The Cocktail grapefruit also has an unusual past, as the variety was never meant to be released commercially due to the fruit’s seedy flesh. ? Cocktail grapefruits are medium to large fruits, averaging 7 to 10 centimeters in diameter, with a round to ovate shape and a flattened bottom on the non-stem end. The peel is thin, smooth, lightly pocked with tiny oil glands, and transitions from green to yellow with maturity. It's important to note that some green may remain on the peel when ripe, and the green coloring is not an indication of ripeness. ? The skin is easy-to-peel, revealing a thin layer of bitter, sour white pith. Underneath the pith, the flesh ranges in color from yellow to yellow-orange, is aqueous, tender, and divided into 12 to 13 segments by slender membranes. The flesh also encloses many cream-colored, oval seeds. Cocktail grapefruits are aromatic and contain low acidity, developing a sweet, subtly tart flavor with orange, floral, herbal, and fruity notes. ?
