Rio Red grapefruit trees are known for producing large, juicy fruit with a smooth pink rind. The interior is where the Rio Red truly shines—its flesh is a rich ruby color, bursting with juice and low in acidity, making it ideal for fresh eating, juicing, or use in recipes. The fruit typically ripens from late fall through early spring in Texas and February to May in California, offering a long harvest window that provides fresh citrus for months.
In addition to their delicious fruit, Rio Red grapefruit trees are admired for their attractive, evergreen foliage and fragrant white blossoms that appear in spring. These trees can grow up to 15–20 feet in height if left unpruned, though they are easily maintained at a more compact size, making them suitable for backyard gardens or even large containers with proper care. They thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, and with regular watering and seasonal feeding, they will produce abundantly.

Whether you’re an experienced orchardist or a first-time grower, you’ll appreciate the durability and productivity of this variety.
