Forget the bitter, sour grapefruits from the store. The Rio Red Grapefruit Tree delivers what the Texas citrus industry is famous for: deep red, juicy fruit with a perfect balance of sweetness and tang.

This is the grapefruit that changed everything, so flavorful and so vibrant it put Texas citrus on the map.

This is a sweet variety that needs plenty of heat units, so make sure you are growing in a Southern state with full outdoor sunlight!

 

 

Why This Tree Is Different

Not all grapefruits are created equal. Some are pale, sour, and barely edible without sugar. But the Rio Red is in a class of its own.

 

 

What It Does For You

 

 

The Story Behind It

The Rio Red grapefruit was developed in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas in the 1980s, building on decades of citrus research. Growers wanted a fruit with the sweetness and deep red color consumers craved, and they got it.

Today, the Rio Red is considered the benchmark of Texas grapefruit, the variety most commonly grown commercially, and celebrated nationwide for its flavor, juiciness, and beauty.

It even carries a historic honor. The founder of US Citrus Nursery, Dr. Mani Skaria, a renowned citrus scientist, nominated the Rio Red to the Texas Legislature, and it was chosen as the official state fruit of Texas. When you grow this tree, you’re not just planting citrus, you’re planting a living piece of Texas heritage.
