Grapefruit Marsh Dwarf – 25cm pot
This is a dwarf Grapefruit Marsh with a neat compact growth habit. The foliage is a lovely rich green which holds its colour all year round. Petite white fragrant blooms appear in mid to late Autumn. Following the blooms, large rounded golden fruits with thin skin develop. The flesh is a brilliant straw colour with no seeds, very juicy, excellent flavour! Harvest ripe fruits in mid-Winter, however, leaving the fruit to ripen even longer on the tree until Spring to Summer will result is a sweeter flavour. Depending on the climate this can affect the flesh colour, colder climates the fruit will have less red pigments. Ideal eaten fresh, in drinks or used in cooking. Fertilise Grapefruit Marsh throughout the peak growing seasons. Low water requirements through winter, however, keep the tree well-watered throughout Summer.
All Citrus will take up to 3 years to produce a harvestable crop. It isn’t uncommon in the first 12-18 months for the fruit to form on the tree but be undersize or lacking flavour. In the first 12 months the tree will be establishing its roots into the soil, the second year you should be establishing the framework of the tree and then in the third year, they should begin to crop. Uneven weather conditions can also affect the fruiting times, crops and yield.
