Grapefruit
Is there any neighbour out there who has a grapefruit tree that I can come and collect fruit from please? I know it is a tad early yet but it would be nice to line up a tree or two that I can pick from. I am 82 now but still quite agile enough to come by, tip my hat and get on with the task of collecting grapefruit. I use a long picker tin to get the upper ones that often break open on hitting the ground. My regular grapefruit tree in a neighbour’s place is doing its bi annual sickie and only has only one piece of fruit this year. Text to 021 126 7576 would be helpful.
