A citrumelo is a hybrid between a grapefruit and a trifoliate orange. The flavor is similar to a grapefruit but more complex and sour/bitter.
Dunstan, Swingle, Dingle, and IVA Swingle are hybrids between the Duncan grapefruit and trifoliate orange. IVA Swingle is a Swingle seedling with improved fruit quality; it is the best citrumelo we have tasted. Dunstan has fairly good quality but can be more bitter/lower in sugar some years. Swingle is lower quality but more lemon-like in appearance and taste. Dingle is a Swingle seedling that is intermediate between Dunstan and Swingle.
5star is a likely hybrid between a Chandler pummelo and a trifoliate orange. The taste is similar to a cross between grapefruit and lemon.
Sacaton is a hybrid between an unknown grapefruit cultivar and a trifoliate orange. Fruit size is the largest we have measured.
