Grapefruit
Grapefruits and Pummelos develop the best tasting fruit in areas with warm summer temperatures. The exception is Oroblanco which sweetens without summer heat. In areas with cooler climates, these types of citrus species often tend to have slightly thicker rinds.
Oroblanco Grapefruit
In Israel, known as "Sweetie". Mid winter Oroblanco produces sweet seedless fruit even in areas of low summer heat. Huge, intensely fragrant flowers and attractive glossy foliage.

Rio Red Grapefruit
Our favorite red-fleshed variety introduced from Texas. Performs best in warm climates. Fruit ripens in winter and often holds the tree into fall. Wonderful for juice or eating fresh.
|
Star Ruby Grapefruit
Tart red fleshed grapefruit is widely grown in Texas and Arizona. We prefer Rio Red because its foliage doesn't get yellow mottling, but some people request Star Ruby because of the name recognition.

Chandler Pummelo
A vigorous large leafed tree with open growth habit. Produces large pink-fleshed fruit which are somewhat larger than standard grapefruit. Heavy producing in the right location, provided sufficient summer heat and frost protection.
|
Cocktail Grapefruit
Extremely sweet and juicy, this cross between Frua mandarin and pummelo produces delicious, succulent low acid fruit from November to February.
|
Chinese Grapefruit
Actually a pummelo, this tree bears large fragrant blooms, followed by yellow pear-shaped fruit which are low in acidity. Height: 8-12 feet at maturity.
|
Melogold Grapefruit
Delicious yellow grapefruit/pummelo cross. Does well in hot interior climates. Fruit holds on the tree better than Oroblanco, and has a thinner rind.
