Grapefruit 'Rio Red'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Rio Red is thought of as half hardy, so remember to watch your frost dates and ensure you have this plant protected when the temperature dips.

Try to ensure a gap of at least 13.00 feet (4.00 metres) when sowing to prevent overcrowding your seedlings. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 60°C / 140°F to ensure good germination.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Rio Red is a half hardy plant.
