Ruby Red Grapefruit Tree Live Citrus 2–3 ft Tall

The Ruby Red Grapefruit Tree is all about better flavor at home — sweeter, richer, and far less bitter than standard grapefruit. Once you taste fruit off your own tree, store-bought doesn’t compare.

Big, juicy fruit with deep red flesh, loaded with flavor and perfect for fresh eating, juicing, or breakfast straight off the tree.
