"Rio Star" Red Grapefruit from Sam's Club

Bethlehem, GA(Zone 7b)

I have a few large seeds from some red grapefruit I purchased at Sam's Club. I would like to try and start them. Does anyone know if they may be fertile? or the best way to sprout them? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Chain,
I haven't grown any for years but I did quite often during high school - too many moons ago. I put seeds on a plastic lid just covered with water. The ones that sprouted I planted. The largest one I had got to be about 4 ft. tall when I left home for college and someone managed to kill it. :( It was a number of years old by then and had a few tiny flowers on it the last year and I believe it has 3 small fruit. My guess is that still would work but perhaps someone else knows more about them! Have fun!

I had the same question about pomegranite. Do they grow from one you buy at the store as well?

I have some lemon growing from the store.
I just made a mini greenhouse out of a clear plastic sandwich container, threw in some dirt, lightly covered the seed with soil, gave it a bit of water, and taped that plastic puppy up, and put it in an area with indirect light. So far so good.
Cant hurt to try.
