Are you feeding them? Are they getting enough water? Grapefruits have good years and bad years, I had one at my house and it had been severely neglected when I bought the house. I did everything humanly possible and had a few good years with her and had a bumper crop, but a few years later, she just died. I did call in an arborist and she told me that the years of neglect before I turned up plus severe drought did her in. Citrus trees can easily live 50 years, mine was only around 30. See if these help.
