The Star Ruby Grapefruit is a premium citrus plant prized for its stunning deep-red flesh and exceptionally sweet, low-bitterness flavor. One of the most popular grapefruit varieties in the world, Star Ruby delivers juicy, richly colored fruit that’s perfect for fresh eating, juicing, or brightening up breakfasts and salads without the sharp bite typical of grapefruit. The tree itself is a beauty—lush green foliage, fragrant white blossoms, and vibrant fruit. Plant Care Keep in full sunlight daily. Protect it from frost and chilly drafts, as it prefers warm temperatures. Use well-draining, slightly acidic soil rich in organic matter, particularly in pots. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and water when the top inch feels dry. During the growing season (spring and summer), feed with a balanced fertilizer. Prune as needed to maintain shape and remove dead branches. Be vigilant against common citrus pests. Propagation Method: Grafted plant, ready to produce fruit within 2-3 years with proper care. Fertility: Self-fertilizes Harvest: Nov-Dec Temperature Tolerance: Ideal Minimum: 15 C Minimum Tolerated (briefly): 5 C
