Marburg, QLD, Australia
Lovely smelling flowers. More leafy than his neighbours (lemonade and orange).Being well mulched and well watered makes a big difference. Growing well
Rangeville, QLD, Australia
Growing in a large pot and doing great. I let the fruit ripen this year to see what we are up for. Allowed 4 to stay on, very heavy fruit, I'm surprised the branches supported them.
Mooloolaba, QLD, Australia
Still only young and establishing. No problems to this point - one fruit last year. Healthy little tree.Only 3 fruit this year - hopefully more next year.
LESCHENAULT, WA
Label doesn't say what type of red grapefruit it is. It's struggling a bit - had to severely prune to get the framework right.For feeding n spraying see lemon - meyer.Aug 2010: it's doing well now and flowering. May let it keep one or two fruit at most...

Grapefruit - Star Ruby
An excellent piece of fruit with trees yielding up to 400kg of fruit per season when fully grown. Highly recommended!!

The grapefruit keeps well at 65º F (18.33º C) or higher for a week or more and for 2 or 3 weeks in the fruit/vegetable compartment of the home refrigerator.
