Citrus X Paradisi Grapefruit performs best in full sun and loamy, well-drained, moist soils. Grapefruit is noted for the acidic to sweet acidic, juicy fruits nearly round and covered with a smooth, dotted, pale-lemon-like peel with a pink blush. The pulps vary from pale yellow to pink to deep red. Grapefruit is an evergreen fruit tree with 4-petaled, aromatic white flowers blooming from late spring to summer. Some fruits may be nearly seedless, while some may include up to 90 seeds. Grapefruit has ovate, dark green leaves. The fruit tree is ideal for patios and containers.
