771: grapefruit Jan 17, 2017

In perhaps confusing times like these, not everything may be as it seems. For example, grapefruits are in no way taxonomically related to grapes, in fact, they don't even grow on vines. This hybrid of a sweet orange and a pomelo does, however, grow on trees in clusters and it's name was given because of what was seen as similar clusters to grapes.
