    The Ruby Red Grapefruit Tree is a prized citrus variety known for its lush foliage, vigorous growth, and sweet, ruby-colored fruit. This subtropical evergreen tree produces large, round grapefruits with a smooth yellow peel that blushes with a rosy hue when ripe. The fruit’s interior is deep red, juicy, and notably sweeter than traditional grapefruit varieties, making it a popular choice for fresh eating, juicing, or adding vibrant flavor to recipes. The tree itself boasts a symmetrical, rounded canopy of glossy, dark green leaves and emits a fragrant citrus aroma when in bloom. In late winter to early spring, the tree produces clusters of white blossoms that are both visually appealing and pleasantly aromatic. With proper care, the Ruby Red Grapefruit Tree becomes a prolific producer and a striking focal point in the landscape or patio container garden. Adaptable to a range of growing conditions, this tree thrives in warm climates and can also be grown in containers and overwintered indoors in cooler regions. Whether planted in the ground or kept as a potted specimen, the Ruby Red Grapefruit Tree offers both ornamental beauty and a generous harvest of high-quality citrus.

    • Sunlight Requirements: The Ruby Red Grapefruit Tree thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Placing the tree in a south-facing location ensures optimal growth and fruit production, especially in temperate regions or when grown in a container.

    • Watering Needs: Maintain consistent moisture by watering deeply when the top few inches of soil become dry. The tree prefers evenly moist but well-draining soil. Avoid overwatering, as standing water can stress the roots and impede growth.

    • Soil Preferences: This citrus tree performs best in sandy loam or well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Amending heavy clay with sand or planting in raised beds or containers helps ensure proper drainage and root health.

    • Growth Habit and Hardiness: The Ruby Red Grapefruit Tree grows at a moderate rate and typically reaches 12–15 feet when planted in the ground, or 6–10 feet in a container. It is best suited for USDA Zones 9–11 but can be grown in containers and brought indoors in colder climates.

    • Physical Characteristics: The tree features glossy, dark green leaves and produces large, round fruits with smooth yellow rinds tinged with pink. The interior flesh is seedless, vibrant red, and known for its sweet-tart flavor and juicy texture, making it a favorite among citrus lovers.

    Testimonials

    "Came in perfect condition--thank you!"

    Natalie

    "Amazing Plants! I was so happy to see these way larger than the plants pictured because I know how slow most cycads grow."

    Matthew

    "This is the first time I've ever ordered plants online, so I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the description of 'comes in a 4" growers' pot' I figured I'd be getting some fairly small plants--nope! The bamboo palms were fully 2' tall from root to top leaf, and perfectly healthy. All 5 plants were VERY well secured in their box, to the point that the bottom layer was even spray-foamed to the cardboard! I couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm so excited to see these plants grow. Five stars!"

    Nathaniel

    "Thrilled with my purchase! This seller went above any beyond! The packaging was very careful, the plants are so much bigger than I expected, and I was given more than what was depicted in the item description. 10/10 all round!"

    Trisha

    "This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Packaging was perfect and efficient, plant was in excellent condition. I'm in love with this plant and I will definitely order more."
