Crisp, juicy, and blushing with citrus sunshine—the ‘Thompson Pink’ Grapefruit Tree (Citrus × paradisi ‘Thompson Pink’) in a 7-gallon pot brings bold flavor and backyard charm to your South Florida garden. Known for its seedless, pale-pink flesh and balanced sweet-tart taste, this heirloom variety is a reliable performer for both new citrus growers and seasoned orchard lovers.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Requires full sun—at least 6–8 hours daily—for optimal fruit development and flavor.

• Watering: Water consistently, especially during dry periods. Keep soil moist but not soggy. Citrus roots dislike standing water.

• Soil: Prefers well-draining sandy or loamy soil. Amend with compost if planting in poor or overly alkaline soils.

• Fertilizer: Use a citrus-specific fertilizer every 6–8 weeks during the growing season. Supplement with magnesium and micronutrients for healthy foliage and juicy fruit.

• Growth Habit: Upright, spreading tree with glossy leaves and fragrant white flowers. In a 7-gallon pot, the tree typically stands 3–4 feet tall, and can grow 12–18 feet tall at maturity when planted in-ground.

• Temperature: Ideal for USDA Zones 9B–11. Thrives in South Florida’s climate. Protect young trees from cold snaps below 32°F.

• Maintenance: Low to moderate. Prune to shape, remove deadwood, and improve airflow. Monitor for citrus leaf miner and scale insects.

Fruit Notes: Produces large, round fruits with light pink, seedless flesh that’s juicy, refreshing, and slightly sweeter than other grapefruit varieties. Harvest in winter through spring.
