Citrus - Grapefruit - Marsh White

Marsh was discovered in Florida as a spontaneous seedling in 1860.  Today Marsh is the leading variety not only in Florida where it originated but also in California, Texas, Arizona, South America, Australia, South Africa, Israel and India.  The fruit is almost completely round, very juicy and rich in flavor.  Marsh needs a lot of heat and thrives in hot climates.  Although the fruit is ready to harvest in December, if left on the tree the fruit will continue to mature and become sweeter with time.  Fruit is typically best from March through May after acid levels in the fruit have declined. The fruit is large in size with only a few seeds. 

Projected Harvest:  Winter to spring
