Ordinary Grapefruit - A3 Framed Poster - Wooden Frame, Premium Paper

The common grapefruit , or Citrus decumana , occupies a unique place in the large family of orange trees.

Considered by Pierre-Antoine Poiteau as the "chief breed" of citrus fruits, it fascinates as much for the majesty of its foliage as for the size of its fruit . Originally from Asia, introduced to Europe by an English captain named Chadock — whose name gave rise to the word Chadec — the grapefruit traveled as far as the West Indies, where certain red-fleshed varieties were nicknamed forbidden fruit because their flavor seemed heavenly.

Poiteau describes three varieties cultivated in Paris at the beginning of the 19th century, recognizable by their large, sweetly scented white flowers , their deep green, angular branches , and their broadly winged leaves . The round, generous fruit ripens slowly—eighteen months—to offer a slightly acidic pulp, enclosed under a thick, finely wrinkled rind.

This naturalistic drawing illustrates all the ornamental beauty of the species , admired in 19th-century orangeries for its rarity and exotic presence.
