Rio Red Grapefruit Tree Five Gallon
Rio Red grapefruit has a taste that will leave you smiling. These large beauties are sweet, juicy and seedless, with an attractive deep red internal color that is sweeter than most other grapefruit varieties. It is great for juicing. The tree is a large growing evergreen to at least 15 to 18 feet tall or clip to shape. Like any citrus, grapefruits make excellent indoor plants if provided with at least moderate light and decent indoor humidity. The Rio Red can be moved outdoors to deck or patio for the season. If in bloom while indoors, fragrant blossoms will be an added treat. Shipped as a well sized five gallon tree in its original soil and container to ensure the best possible start when planted in container or orchard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you really ship citrus trees this time of the year?
Since we ship all of our trees potted in soil, yes we are able to offer shipment year round. We monitor weather.com, and hold shipment temporarily if weather is too extreme. We add insulation to the trees as weather dictates, packaging each carefully by hand to ensure the best possible tree when it arrives at your home.
We carefully box each tree by hand, adding protective measures to absorb excessive vibration or movement while in transit. The root balls are then bagged to hold in moisture while the trees are on their way, with an additional card board collar placed over the tree to provide additional protection from the elements. Some leaf drop may occur, but the tree, once moved to a proper and safe location should re-foliate very quickly.
