Are they from a large F2 population?

Each variety is only around 10 plants. 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’ve never heard about Tennessee citrumelo. I have 80-5 that came from seeds from TN. Leaves look pretty narrow. What’s the story on Tennessee citrumelo?

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

Tennessee Citrumelo is not a variety, for sure. it came to me via trade between breeders.
Let`s see what it will become in some years...
PS I checked my emails. It came supposedly from McKenzieFarms.

Stan McKenzie is a good friend of mine. 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.

I am not fully convinced it is from him, but I was told so. Would you ask Stan about it on your next visit?

I guess Tennessee is pretty good, or maybe Stanzie Citrumelo 
Thanks a lot for your help Laaz, I appreciate!
