For sale: Fresh Dunstan Citrumelo Seeds
« on: November 14, 2025, 08:12:45 PM »
Hi all,

I've a decent quantity of Dunstan Citrumelo seed available from fruit I picked this week. I expect about one or two hundred seeds in total.

Free shipping, 50¢ per seed, minimum of $10. PM me.

Seeds will be shipped straight after cleaning and packaged in a slightly moist paper towels, sealed in a plastic bag, and wrapped in bubble wrap, they should arrive undamaged and fully viable. Paper towels will be treated with a very dilute bleach solution to prevent mold.

Sorry, no shipping to California, Florida, or Texas as my understanding is it's illegal.

Dunstan is a large, fairly vigorous tree, a trifoliate x white grapefruit cross. Seedlings are hardy to lower teens, established trees are hardy to around 0 F. Fruit are the size of medium grapefruit, ripen later Oct-Nov in NC, moderately seedy for a hybrid, and have a grapefruit/lemon flavor with some orange and trifoliate notes. Somewhat tart to sweet-tart depending on ripeness. Very juicy. IMHO a top five trifoliate hybrid.

Not my tree but one growing in NC in zone 7b. Planted in 2009, about 25-30 ft tall now.

Hi - I'd love to buy some seeds if you still have them available.  I would be 100 or more if you could give me some kind of discount like 25% off.

Thanks,

Doug

Sure, let me count how many I've got.

I'm not sure how quickly mail will get to you in PR, I might partially dry the seeds so they don't mold.

I have approximately 350 seeds left. That would've been $175 for all but I'll discount for bulk so let's just say $60 for all. PM me if this sounds good to you.
