Dating back to the 1800s, Marsh is a popular heirloom grapefruit and is the father of many modern hybrids because of its large, slightly sweet seedless fruit. Marsh is a large, compact, attractive, evergreen tree with glossy, dark green leaves and fragrant, creamy-white blossoms. It is a heavy-yielding grapefruit with a round, flattened shape ripening in autumn and winter, with a fruit that is both sweet and acidic. Use as a feature tree in Mediterranean-style gardens or as an ornamental tree. The fruit is highly nutritious, rich in vitamin C, refreshing and excellent for juicing, breakfast or marmalades. Protect from strong winds, especially during flowering or while the fruit is forming.
