Grapefruit trees are a type of citrus tree that produce waxy green leaves and large citrus fruits, which range from sour to semisweet. They belong to the Rutaceae family and were created as a hybrid of the sweet orange tree and pomelo tree in Barbados. Grapefruit trees can be planted in the spring or fall in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 9-11, but cannot be shipped to California, Florida, Texas, or Arizona due to agricultural shipping restrictions. To plant a grapefruit tree, choose a sunny site with well-draining soil at least 12 feet away from any obstructions. Dig a hole to accommodate the trees root structure, place the tree in the hole, and backfill with soil, ensuring the soil is level or slightly mounded for proper drainage. Spread mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture and deter weeds, keeping it at least a foot away from the base of the trunk. To care for a grapefruit tree, water it regularly during its first year, reducing watering to about once a week after the roots are established. Prune the tree in the spring by removing dead or damaged branches, and harvest grapefruits in the late fall by squeezing and twisting the fruit off the tree.
