Estimated delivery between March 29 and April 01.
The Oroblanco Grapefruit (Citrus × paradisi) is a remarkable hybrid citrus variety, known for its sweet, mild flavor and low acidity. This grapefruit is a cross between the pomelo and the white grapefruit, resulting in a large, pale yellow fruit with a smooth, easy-to-peel rind. The flesh inside is tender, juicy, and refreshingly sweet with little of the typical bitterness found in traditional grapefruits. Oroblanco trees are hardy and productive, making them perfect for home orchards or container gardening. The tree is easy to grow in warmer climates and produces a bountiful harvest of fruit that is perfect for fresh eating, juicing, or adding to fruit salads and desserts.
