Duncan Grapefruit Tree – Historic, Juicy, and Full of Flavor

The Duncan Grapefruit Tree is one of the oldest and most historic grapefruit varieties grown in the United States. Known for its large, juicy fruit and classic tart-sweet flavor, it’s the variety that helped make Florida famous for grapefruit.

Planting a Duncan means growing a piece of American citrus history in your own backyard.
