Tree up to 10 metres in height with a compact crown and sharp thorns. The dark green leaves have a thickened stalk and are leathery. The tree produces round, slightly flattened hesperidia (a type of berry) with a yellow skin and pink segmented flesh. The seeds lie in the juicy segments close to the core.
This tree was grown over many years by a visitor to the Tropenhaus.
In its sunny spot, our imposing large grapefruit tree is popular with visitors. However, we have been waiting in vain for it to fruit for quite a number of years now.
