Wheeny

Wheeny is an Australian grapefruit variety producing large, good-quality, pale yellow fruit with thin skin and very juicy flesh with a mild, sweet flavour — less sharp than many grapefruits. A reliable, productive variety well suited to NZ home gardens in frost-free areas. Self-fertile. A practical choice for those who find standard grapefruit too bitter — Wheeny's milder character makes it more approachable for fresh eating. Available from NZ specialist citrus nurseries.
