'Oroblanco' is a semi-dwarf hybrid grapefruit known for its exceptionally sweet, seedless fruit. A cross between a white grapefruit and a pomelo, it produces large, round, pale yellow fruits with thick rinds and juicy, aromatic flesh.

Unlike traditional grapefruits, 'Oroblanco' is low in acidity, making it a favorite for those who prefer milder citrus flavors. It ripens from late fall into winter and holds well on the tree, providing an extended harvest window.

This semi-dwarf variety is an excellent choice for small yards or container gardening. With its attractive foliage, fragrant blossoms, and delicious fruit, it’s both ornamental and productive. Beneficial for pollinators, this tree thrives in well-drained soil and requires regular pruning to maintain its size and shape.
