They are pink and not especially sweet. I suspect that fruit quality drops as the tree ages. This tree is most likely 45-50 years old. It’s a passable grapefruit but I would probably complain if it wasn’t free. The sour oranges made an excellent mojo for me and BV Jr #1 made a sour orange pie out of them (I shipped about 20 pounds of them out to Oregon). His wife invented a drink using the juice, earl grey tea, mulling spices and Woodford Reserve bourbon. They called it the Spiced Florida Man. I am due to harvest some more this week. I’m looking at making a salad dressing this time.
