FAQ
Which plant does this Grapefruit verdict cover?
Citrus paradisii, as listed by the ASPCA. The ASPCA Grapefruit entry gives that scientific name and the family Rutaceae. This page does not grade Orange or lemon. Check the scientific name on the tag.
Which parts does the Grapefruit entry name?
The clinical-signs field reads "Vomiting, diarrhea, depression; potential dermatitis. Fruit is edible, skins and plant material can cause problems." The parts stored from that sentence are skins and plant material. Move Grapefruit out of reach and contact your vet if signs persist or worsen.
