These are from seeds given to me. Actually the seedlings are F2 mother plants are F1. I couldn`t find out anything about Tennesse Citrumelo. Any idea?

I have 80-5 that came from seeds from TN. Leaves look pretty narrow. What’s the story on Tennessee citrumelo?

There's someone on Ebay always selling "Hardy grapefruit" which is just your run of the mill Swingle...

Let`s see what it will become in some years... PS I checked my emails. It came supposedly from McKenzieFarms.

Someone from Tenn. probably gave him the seeds. He is about a hour drive from me. I'll have to get up to see him soon.

Would you ask Stan about it on your next visit?

He just sent me some info...

Years ago a woman contacted me about sending me some seed she had and she was from Tennessee. I wish I had gotten or either kept up with her name. The resulting seedling produces heavy crops, much more than swingle and Dunstan, at least for me. Some of my farm visitors like the flavor, others not. A beautiful ornamtal and worth growing for the beauty. I suspect it may be sacaton

I guess Tennessee is pretty good, or maybe Stanzie Citrumelo

Thanks a lot for your help Laaz, I appreciate!
