Benefits of pink citrus
We have a decade of data about how the tree grows. Fruit flavor and juice color has been tested and recorded since the original test trees. Commercial lab values for sugar, acid, lycopene, beta-carotene, and other chemical components have been tested multiple times. The presence of anti-oxidants lycopene and beta-carotene set the Rosy Red apart from orange-fleshed citrus fruits.

Stats on the harvest
The second commercial harvest of Rosy Red took place on April 30, 2024. On this day, 110 tons were picked and packed into both fancy and choice boxes—more than three times the fruit quantity as the July 2023 harvest. This dramatic increase in volume shows that the Rosy Red is a very productive tree. In 2025, the volume of fruit should increase even further as more acres are coming into commercial production.
