Pink Grapefruit

We have had this grapefruit tree for about 5 years. Last year it did not have any fruit at all because the year before it almost died during the late (March 1) frost we had.
This year it did a lot better, too much better in fact. I was told at the local nursery I should probably limit its fruit so we picked off a lot of the smaller stuff and there are about 12 fruits left on it. Still not bad if they all make it.
The tree itself is only about 5 feet high.

The reason the leaves are so light, almost yellow is because of all the rain we have been getting.
This is what they look like up close. When they turn yellow its time to eat.
