South African Grapefruits are by far some of the most desirable produce in the grapefruit market. RSA grapefruits set the standard, as the quality is simply faultless. We supply both Star Ruby and Red Ruby varieties which are the most popular varieties in the market, and we are established in the South African market and have been for decades. It’s fair to say we know our way round South Africa pretty well, which ensures we are always levelling up our operations in every way possible.
The summer grapefruit is the perfect fruit to refresh yourself with a juiciness that is hard to beat. The South African dark red coloring provides you a tangy and tart flavor, with an underlying sweetness. Not only are these grapefruits rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, but can also aid in weight loss! Enjoy our Star Ruby Grapefruit as a healthy breakfast choice or drink a glass of fresh squeezed juice on a hot summer day. The grapefruit season lasts from the middle of June through the beginning of September.

Superior, sweet and tart flavorful summer Grapefruit!

PRODUCES SEASONS

Position – Plant your grapefruit in full sun, where they will get 8 to 12 hours of sunlight every day. If you live in a region with mild winter frost (-1°C to -2°C), then opt to grow lemons, navel oranges, naartjie varieties (satsumas), clementines and mandarin hybrids, limes and kumquats. Size – Most grapefruit trees reach a mature height of between 5 and 6 metres, but some have been to grow as tall as 13 to 15 metres. Soil Type – Grapefruit trees require slightly acidic soil with a pH of between 5.5 and 6.5. Ensure that you have good drainage. If you plan to grow your grapefruit tree in a 50 x 50 x 50 centimetre pot, use a whole bag of our volcanic rock dust with a mixture of compost and potting soil. Place stones on the bottom of your pot for good drainage. The plants will thrive in a container if they receive enough sunlight and are protected from freezing winter weather.
