The rich green leaves of the Ruby Red Grapefruit tree are vibrant and thick. The grapefruit is a pale lemon color blushed with pink. Reaching heights of up to 20 feet (unpotted), you can even line your property with these citrus trees!

It's Easy to Plant your Ruby Red Grapefruit
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Ruby Red Grapefruit. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Ruby Red Grapefruit gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Ruby Red Grapefruit again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

Had the ruby red tree for less than a month, the tree arrived packed very well. The tree had several buds, I planted in a large container and provide some supplemental light while indoors for the winter. The first flowers opened yesterday and they smell wonderful! once warmer we will move it outdoors, if the flowers are any indication of how much fruit we will get, there will be a lot of grapefruits. We are happy with the trees and shipping and plan on buying several more trees, apple,avocado, and some others from FGT's.
