The story

Not really a grapefruit.

A cross of mandarin and pummelo with a grapefruit's yellow rind. Inside, the flesh is orange-gold, very juicy and sweet, with almost none of grapefruit's bitterness. It has seeds. It is worth it.

Light

Full sun.

Water

Water when the top inch is dry. Never waterlogged.

Planting

Spring. Sandy, well-drained soil or citrus mix, graft above the soil.

Juice-glass citrus for people who don't like grapefruit.
