The fruit tree is also a popular home garden variety as it is an early-season cultivar that can be grown in containers, and the fruit holds well to the tree when maturing. Oro Blanco grapefruits are still considered a specialty cultivar primarily found through farmer’s markets and select grocers. This relatively new hybrid is highly favored for its juicy, sweet flesh without the bitterness commonly associated with other grapefruit varieties. Oro Blanco grapefruits are a natural cross between a white-fleshed grapefruit and a pomelo and were developed in California in the late 20th century. The name Oro Blanco translates from Spanish to mean “white gold,” and is a descriptor used to highlight the fruit’s yellow flesh. Oro Blanco grapefruits, botanically a part of the Citrus genus, are a sweet, hybrid variety belonging to the Rutaceae family. Oro Blanco grapefruits are available in the fall through early spring. Oro Blanco grapefruits have an aromatic, floral scent and a delicate, sweet flavor with no acidic or bitter aftertaste. Underneath the peel, a thick, white, bitter, and spongy rind surrounds the pale-yellow flesh, and there are approximately 10 to 14 segments that are juicy, soft, nearly seedless, and tender. Fully mature, sweet fruits may be found covered in green patches.

It is important to note that the fruit's skin color is not the primary indicator of ripeness. The peel is smooth, glossy, and slightly pebbled with small pores that release aromatic oils, and the fruit transitions from green to yellow-green or bright yellow when mature. Oro Blanco grapefruits are large fruits, averaging 10 to 12 centimeters in diameter, and have a round to ovate shape.
