Description

Add an exotic Mediterranean feel to your garden and grow your own delicious grapefruits. These juicy, zingy tasting fruits are packed with vitamin C - what could be better than picking your breakfast grapefruit from your very own plant! Grapefruit 'Rio Star' trees are evergreen, with glossy green foliage that exudes a pleasant scent, in summer they bear huge white fragrant flowers that will delight as you near the plant.

Yellow globe shaped fruits develop through late summer and autumn. Grow in pots for best results - plants can stay in their nursery pot or move to a similar decorative container and place in a sunny spot outside. Alternatively grow in a cool greenhouse or conservatory.

To ensure youll be picking delicious fruit year after year, we advise you keep your trees in their pots, and place in a sunny, sheltered position. Protect from frost during the winter time either by bringing indoors into a conservatory.

Supplied as an established plant in a 4L pot, approximately 70-90cm tall.

Top Tips
  • For best results, bring indoors to cool area for winter.
  • Feed with specialist citrus feed regularly in spring and summer.
  • Care Information
    • Citrus tend not to thrive in centrally heated homes, so from mid-June to late September, give plants a treat and transfer them outside to make the most of the available sunshine - but remember they are not frost tolerant so will need bringing under cover if cold nights threaten.
    • In summer, water freely - ideally with rainwater, while in winter you can reduce the amount - allowing the surface to partially dry out before watering again. Always allow excess water to drain away.
    • Overwatering in winter is one of the commonest problems, so try to keep them on the dry side.
    • Only minimal pruning is required to reshape or remove dead or damaged shoots.
    Delivery Information

    Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

    Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

    We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

    Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

    Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

    Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
