Citrus Paradisii

Grapefruits are first documented by westerners in Barbados in 1750, where they were described as growing naturally. It was transported to the United States by one of Napoleon's Naval sugeons, Dr Odette Philippi, where it flourishes in Florida to this day.

The trees are large and can reach over 50 feet and produces big white flowers before the familiar large yellow fruits are formed. The oil is extracted from the zest of the fruit.
