'Ruby Red' was discovered on a 'Pink Marsh' tree in 1929 in McAllen, TX, and was patented in 1934. The fruit is of excellent quality, seedless ( 0 to 6 seeds), red-fleshed, oblate and thin skinned. The fruit usually has a red blush on an otherwise yellow peel.

The major grapefruit varieties in Texas are Rio Red, Ruby Red, and Henderson/Ray. All were discovered in Texas and all are red-fleshed, seedless and have varying degrees of redness in the peel.
