1 5"-13" Red Grapefruit Plant

Description: Keep the tree at least 12 feet (4 m.) from buildings, walks, driveways, etc. This will allow for adequate growth. Grapefruit trees can be planted in spring or fall, depending on where you're located and what works best for you and your region's conditions. Keep in mind that those planted in spring must contend with the heat of summer while fall-planted trees must endure the hardships of unseasonably cold winters. Dig the planting hole both wide and deep enough to accommodate the roots. After placing the tree in the hole, backfill halfway with soil, firmly pressing down to squeeze out any air bubbles. Then water the soil and allow it to settle before backfilling with the remaining soil. Keep the soil level with the surrounding area or slightly mound it. Setting it any lower will lead to standing water and cause rotting. Also, be sure that the bud union remains above the soil.After planting, you should water every few days for the first couple weeks. Then you can begin watering deeply once a week, except during dry periods when additional water may be needed. You can also add light fertilizer during irrigation every four to six weeks. Don't prune your tree unless removing old weakened or dead branches. Winter protection may be needed for areas prone to frost or freezing. Once the fruits have turned yellow or gold in color, they're ready for picking. The longer the fruit remains on the tree, however, the larger and sweeter it becomes. Over-ripened fruit, which may appear lumpy, should be discarded. Keep in mind that newly planted grapefruit trees will take at least three years before producing quality fruit. *No pesticies are used on any of our plants.
