LA FAMILLE- THE GRAPEFRUIT TREE

GRANDMA'S TREE

GRANDMA'S TREE

MY LATE GRANDMOTHER PLANTED A GRAPEFRUIT TREE IN THE BACK YARD DURING THE EARLY 1970'S; BUT SUPPOSEDLY MY AUNT PLANTED IVY IN THE SAME LOCATION SHORTLY THEREAFTER (IN ORDER TO PAY HOMAGE TO HER SORORITY).  THE FAMILY CONCLUDED THAT THE IVY MUST HAVE KILLED THE GRAPEFRUIT TREE BECAUSE NOTHING SEEMED TO GROW FROM THAT SPOT. GRANDMA LATER PASSED AWAY IN 1989.  A FEW YEARS AGO MY GRANDFATHER WAS IN THE BACKYARD AND SAW A GREEN PIECE OF FRUIT GROWING FROM A TREE THAT WAS IN THE SAME LOCATION GRANDMA HAD PLANTED HER TREE IN. HER GRAPEFRUIT TREE WASN'T DEAD AFTER ALL.
