Grapefruit Tree - Star Ruby

The Star Ruby Grapefruit Tree is an exceptional addition to South African gardens, offering not just beauty but also an abundance of sweet-tart fruit. The Star Ruby variety is well-known for its rich red flesh, bursting with flavor, and its high vitamin C content. It thrives in warm, sunny climates and grows best in well-drained, fertile soil.

What makes the Star Ruby stand out is its deep ruby color, which develops due to the presence of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant. The tree typically produces fruit from mid-winter to early summer, providing an extended harvest season for fresh, nutritious grapefruits. It’s perfect for anyone looking to enjoy the health benefits of grapefruits—such as boosting immunity, aiding digestion, and improving skin health—all while adding a striking, ornamental tree to their landscape.

To give your Star Ruby Grapefruit Tree the best care, plant it in full sun, water it deeply, and ensure it has room to grow. Unlike some citrus varieties, the Star Ruby is highly resistant to pests and diseases, making it a low-maintenance choice for even novice gardeners. With proper pruning and fertilization, this tree will thrive for many years, delivering bountiful, juicy harvests​.

By planting a Star Ruby Grapefruit Tree, you are also supporting local South African agriculture, as this variety is widely grown and beloved in the region. It's a perfect blend of beauty, flavor, and nutrition—ideal for those wanting to cultivate their own fresh, healthy produce at home!
