The Grapefruits are small sized.Why?- Question Posted By One Of Our Garden Group Member

My grapefruit tree has quite a bit of fruit, but they are all small. Any idea why?

A - It might be a bit early to worry about grapefruit size,

The grapefruits may still be growing and, depending on the variety, will do so until the end of the year. Inadequate watering and fertilizing are common problems that contribute to small fruit size.

As any tree grows, enlarge its watering well to extend slightly past the canopy edge, where feeder roots are growing. Water penetration should be 2 to 3 feet deep. After irrigation, check depth by pushing a slender rod into the soil. If it doesn’t move easily to the proper depth, continue watering until it does.
