Ruby Red Grapefruit Tree – Citrus × paradisi ‘Ruby Red’

The Ruby Red Grapefruit Tree – Citrus × paradisi ‘Ruby Red’ is a classic citrus tree known for its juicy pink-red fruit, sweet-tart flavor, fragrant blooms, and glossy evergreen foliage. This grapefruit variety is a good choice for customers who enjoy fresh grapefruit, breakfast fruit, juicing, and growing citrus at home.

Ruby Red grapefruit adds beauty and usefulness to sunny North Florida landscapes. The tree produces attractive citrus fruit with a yellow to orange rind and colorful ruby-pink to red flesh inside. Its fragrant white flowers also attract bees and other pollinators, making it a beautiful addition to edible landscapes, patios, home orchards, and backyard fruit gardens.

In North Florida and the Florida Panhandle, Ruby Red grapefruit should be planted in full sun and well-drained soil. Grapefruit trees can be more cold-sensitive than some hardy citrus, so they do best in a warm, protected location or in a large container where they can be protected during hard freezes. This is a good citrus choice for customers who want bold, flavorful fruit and are willing to give the tree a little extra care during cold weather.
