I am having great luck with a pink grapefruit in a 20 gal pot. Outside all
summer and into GARAGE for the winter. It had 16 regular size fruit this
fall and it is really good without extra sugar. it had a very healthy leaf
canopy. Also growing sweet/sour calamondin, meyer lemon, Lisbon lemon (which
had a leaf disease and drops leaves each fall), a lime, and a semi-hardy
tangerine. Larger pots are on a roller dolly. The ripe fruit flavors is
worth all the effort. Plants 5 years old, and some a little less.
