General Information
The tree appears to be relatively more HLB-tolerant compared to conventional grapefruit cultivars. Crops grow well in CUPS and, with the right rootstock and environment, can produce exceptionally delicious grapefruit-like fruit with enhanced flavor. Bagging fruit is effective and improves color earlier in the season.
