Seedless Grapefruit - Citrus paradisi Marsh

Citrus paradisi ‘Marsh’ is a heavy cropping, seedless grapefruit variety known for its large, light-fleshed fruit and balanced tangy flavour. The fruit ripens in autumn and winter, becoming sweeter the longer it remains on the tree. This variety performs best in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for Melbourne’s temperate climate. It’s a hardy evergreen tree that adds ornamental appeal and can be grown in pots, espaliered, or featured in edible landscapes.

Key Features:

• Soil: Well-drained loam or sandy soil enriched with organic matter.
• Light: Full sun required for best fruit development.
• Watering: Keep soil moist during flowering and fruiting; reduce in winter.
• Fertiliser: Feed with a balanced citrus fertiliser twice yearly in spring and summer.
• Maintenance: Prune lightly after harvest to maintain shape and encourage airflow.
• Flowering: White, fragrant blooms in spring; fruit ripens in autumn and winter.

For sweeter fruit, allow grapefruit to stay on the tree longer, cooler winter nights in Melbourne enhance its flavour.
