<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color:#008000;">variety Marsh seedless from Botanical Garden - Plovdiv, Bulgaria</span></strong></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The grapefruit fruits are the most valued for nutritional and dietary qualities of all citrus fruits. It is not suprising, that these are the most consumed citrus fruits in America. They gain more and more popularity in Europe as well.</p>

<p>The fruits of Marsh seedless variety have yellow pulp.&nbsp; The peel is yellow. The taste and aroma are excellent, typical for Grapefruits.</p>

<p>As with all other Citrus plants, the orange is susceptible to scales and spider mites and needs to be sprayed twice a year.</p>

<p>In winter it will need a cool place with temperatures 0-10 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is higher, the leaves usually fall off. In summer it needs to be outside and abundantly watered.</p>
