Description
Bring a touch of the tropics to your Massachusetts home with the Ruby Red Grapefruit plant. This medium to large shrub—or small tree—boasts glossy green foliage and produces fragrant clusters of white star-shaped flowers in early spring. These blooms give way to large, juicy ruby red grapefruits with fewer seeds and a tangy flavor. While outdoor planting is limited due to cold winters, this citrus beauty thrives in containers, making it perfect for patios or sunny indoor spaces.
The Ruby Red Grapefruit is a striking evergreen that can grow up to 7 feet tall and wide when grown indoors. It features a charming upright, spreading habit and may benefit from occasional pruning to maintain its shape. While it can be tricky to get consistent fruit indoors, experienced gardeners will enjoy the challenge and reward of cultivating this fragrant, fruit-bearing plant. Whether placed by a sunny window or outside during warmer months, this citrus gem adds visual interest and a refreshing scent to any Massachusetts home.
Each plant comes in a #2 (2 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
