Notes
In 1973, a limb on an ‘Everhard strain of red grapefruit’ was found with dark red fruit, and was later named Henderson (Maxwell and Rouse, 1980). Saunt (2000) also gives this origin, but in addition equates Everhard with Fawcett. Hensz (1981) states that Henderson was derived from a Ruby Red budsport, and C.Everhard (pers.comm.), whose father propagated the trees, believes the Fawcett claim is incorrect, and that ‘Everhard’ was probably a Ruby Red strain. Henderson is grown, mainly as a minor variety, in several places including Texas (Anciso, 2002; Sauls, 1998), Argentina (Accari, 2000), Turkey (Seker, pers.comm.) and South Africa (Stanbury, 1996).
