Pickups by Appointment Only: We offer retail sales to consumers, but due to the diseases that affect citrus trees, do not allow visitors inside the greenhouses to select your own trees. We are not staffed to accommodate drop in visits, so please email or call before coming to pickup an order. We appreciate your respect of these rules to protect our livelihood.
Just a reminder, we are a disease exclusion facility. Do not bring plant material of any kind to our nursery. We understand that you may need help diagnosing issues with your citrus trees, but please send pictures! You can email info@briteleaf.com or text 352-793-6861. Please include your name and contact information with your pictures.
CHRISTMAS SHIPPING – Our last ship date for December will be December 18th in an effort to get plants delivered before the holiday.
JANUARY SHIPPING – we will resume shipping the week of January 8, 2024.
Winter Shipping Alert: We do not recommend shipping outside of Florida when temperatures are at or below freezing. Citrus trees are tropical and are very cold sensitive. In addition, our greenhouses are very warm to keep plants growing, which makes them more susceptible to cold damage. If you are in an area where temperatures drop below 40 degrees F, we will recommend holding your order. We do not warranty freeze damage.

W P MITCHELL –
I’m very glad to have this great grapefruit again; I really missed it since I moved from the house I grew up in in Tampa. Lived there for years and the tree never froze plus the fruit got slowly sweeter the longer it hung on the tree. Wonderful grapefruit taste; so it has lotsa seeds, who cares? Its flavor more than makes up for the extra seeds. Thanks to Brite Leaf for making this cultivar available. I was glad to wait for it!
