I have a grapefruit tree that has thick skinned nondescript fruit
with a million seeds inside and more orangey inside, BUT it tastes
wonderful. Whereas the pretty yellow variety, called Wheenie (I
think) is much more bitter. Can also be the ripeness of the fruit
too. You'll have to eat one and work out where the bitterness comes
from - a taste test . have fun!
