Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth
Which Grapefruits Are The Sweetest?
If you’re a fan of Rio red grapefruit, you already know that these fruits are especially sweet for grapefruit, but is it actually the sweetest kind? Well, yeah! We plant our Winter Sweetz grapefruit trees in rich soil and allow our fruit to ripen in Texas’ windy winter weather, ensuring our fruits have the sweetest, tangiest flavor around!

What Makes Texas Fruit So Special?
As Texas grapefruit growers, we love grapefruits of all shapes and sizes, but Texas red grapefruit is by far our favorite, and there’s no big mystery as to why. Texas is home to some fantastically rich soil and a subtropical climate that makes it perfect for citrus trees. With full sun and well-draining soil, it’s no wonder our grapefruit trees are so happy! Each Winter Sweetz Rio red grapefruit tree is carefully maintained all year round to ensure the sweetest, juiciest fruit!
