Extended grapefruit season....Duncan and ??

11 years ago

Hi all. I couldn't find the answer by searching so figured I'd just ask. I'm in central Florida, zone 9b. I'd like to have fruit as long as possible for juicing. I know I want to grow Duncan for the flavor. Any suggestions on what else to grow to extend the season I'll have fruit?

Thank you!

I have no idea what the season is for Duncan, but Bloomsweet can be harvested December to May. They're really good. Have you looked at Rio Red? They are really good, and every other year they have a large harvest. I've been picking a couple of grapefruit a week from my tree for a couple of months now, and it's only about 6 years old. It still has more than a dozen, meaning they should last until about April.
