Hi I hope you can help me, I have a grapefruit tree which my grandfather grow from a seed ,it is now approx 7 years old and stands about 3 foot tall it looks very healthy with big shinny green leaves BUT it produces a sticky watery substance on its leaves which drops on the floor (which the wife is not to happy about). It lives in the conservatory during the winter months and outside during the summer.Do you know what this is and can I stop it. Thanks Matt Wright
