WIGHTS MOUNTAIN, QLD, Australia
Moved and replanted 2008, good crop 2013, but no fruit set at all in 2014.
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.

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.
