This Cocktail Grapefruit has large fruit, usually growing to 3-4" across, almost round, with shiny, deep golden yellow to light yellow orange skin. It has a wonderful vanilla-grapefruit rind aroma that would make great marmalade, candied peel, or syrup. For fresh eating it is superb. Peel it and section it and enjoy the interiors, which have rather large segments with a moderate number of large seeds and lots of sweet, very mild, almost acidless, fragrant, vanilla-pummelo flavor. This tastes the closest to an Orange Julius of any fresh citrus I have tasted. It is soft textured and extremely juicy. It is quite easy to peel the fruits, as the thick rind comes off easily. It is quite productive, bearing its fruit in clusters, on a very compact, dwarf habit to just 5-8' tall. The fruit hold very well on the tree and so it should be an excellent variety to try in cooler areas, where it can hang until ripe. Can not ship citrus trees to TX, AZ, or FL. Shipped as a potted five gallon tree in its original soil and container.
