Grapefruit
Our Grapefruit Range
Grapefruit are vigorous growing trees with large, glossy leaves that end up looking quite lush and lovely in the garden, adding a nice bit of shade. They can also fruit quite prolifically. Newer grapefruit varieties can be eaten straight off the tree or, if you’re a traditionalist, cut them in half, sprinkle some sugar and enjoy them for a delicious breakfast alternative.
