Varieties Star Ruby, Sweetie Load ports Ashdod and Haifa
Roughly October to April out of the coastal plain. Two products share the row: red Star Ruby, which competes with Florida and South Africa, and the Sweetie — a pomelo-grapefruit cross, green-skinned and low in acid — which competes with nothing because almost nobody else grows it.
Grapefruit is among the more forgiving citrus in a container, but the Sweetie is sold on a skin colour that buyers have to be taught to read: it looks unripe and is not. That is a merchandising problem at the far end rather than a shipping one, and it is worth knowing before the first pallet lands.
Last reviewed August 2026. Editorial ranges for a normal year, not a published schedule. Weather moves them, sometimes by weeks.
