Ruby Red Grapefruit Tree FAQs
Is there a difference between Redblush and Ruby Red grapefruit trees?
Yes, there is a subtle difference between Redblush and Ruby Red grapefruit trees, though the two are closely related and often confused.
Ruby Red has an appealing pink-red flesh and a sweeter, less acidic flavor. They also tend to lose pigmentation over time through successive propagations, leading to lighter flesh and rind coloration in later generations.
Redblush is a natural mutation of Ruby Red. It retains deeper red pigmentation more consistently in both the flesh and the blush on the rind. In terms of flavor, Redblush is nearly identical to Ruby Red. It is sweet, mildly tangy, and juicy, but it generally has a more vibrant appearance and fewer problems with fading coloration. Because of these improvements, Redblush has largely replaced Ruby Red in many commercial plantings.
Is the Ruby Red grapefruit tree sensitive to frost?
Yes, the Ruby Red grapefruit tree is sensitive to frost, especially when it is still young. Like most grapefruit trees, Ruby Red grows best in warm, subtropical climates and can be damaged by freezing temperatures.
To help protect a Ruby Red grapefruit tree from frost:
- Plant it in a sunny and sheltered location.
- Cover it with a frost cloth or blanket when freezing temperatures are expected.
- Water the soil before a freeze to help retain heat.
Do you also have dwarf Ruby Red grapefruit trees for sale? If so, what size pot will I need for them upon delivery?
No. Ruby Red is not a common variety at TreeSource, and a dwarf version would require a special propagation. We recommend using Rio Red instead, as the fruit is bigger, redder and performs well in most conditions.
