We have more than 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.

An inventory of 20,000 trees on Trifoliate (Rich 16) or Carrizo rootstock is now available for planting by growers. Schedule a visit to the grove to see the volume of fruit on the trees preparing for the 2026 harvest. Contact Nancy Lange to schedule a visit, learn more, or coordinate your tree order with the nursery. TreeSource Citrus Nursery is the only nursery that sells the Rosy Red trees.

The third commercial harvest of the Rosy Red took place May and June of 2025. At this time, 200 tons were picked and packed into both fancy and choice boxes. Each year shows a dramatic increase in volume, confirming that the Rosy Red is a very productive tree. In 2026, the volume of fruit should continue to increase as more acres are coming into commercial production.
