A New Plymouth pressman has been shown a fruit that is entirely new to Taranaki. It is called the Spanish toronga, or grape fruit. The grower imported the young tree four years ago from California, and this year a splendid crop of fruit is on the branches. In appearance the fruit. is very like an orange, but about, two or three times as lftrge. In place of only one fruit growing on a stem there are dusters Of from four to eight. In flavour tho fruit when ripe resembles that of a luscious orange. The plant or tree is about four feet high, pr6ws very sturdily and appears to suit the Taranaki climate.
