I've been picking grapefruit for over a month just to throw away.
I have a large grapefruit tree - produces 800 to 1200 ruby red grapefruit a year.
This year I have to throw them away. Usually our community would have collection drop off areas to collect all citrus & food banks & other agencies would also provide large drop off bins. Not this year. The streets are lined with bags of citrus.
All citrus has to be thrown away. It's a shame
Apparently a insect was found in my County & the threat of transferring the bug etc..
Yet, I'm allowed to mail citrus and my Post Office gives me a 10 % discount on fruit..:yh_rotfl
Figure the Government out.

If I were permitted to eat grapefruit (& I Love the ruby red!) I would ask you to mail me some. But, seems it doesn't mix with some of my medications.
Maybe next time!

I love grapefruit, but I'm not allowed it due to being on statins.

My ruby red grapefruit are the best - juicy - delish.
I'm delivering @ 200 to a friend tomorrow and I have 6 large bags out for garbage.
Interesting authorities don't want the bug transferred but yet you can mail the fruit?
Anne - sorry - some meds don't get along with grapefruit - hubby can't eat them either.
Neighbors have lemons & oranges out for garbage. 6 bag limit each garbage pick up.
it's a shame really - prices will probably rise on citrus.

That's a shame. I love Grapefruit. Any Grapefruit. Especially Ruby Reds.
