Reply 35 reports fruit sent by a viewer from an Aquinas High School planting and tentatively identifies it as a probable Dunstan seedling; the identity is unverified. The selection name honors Joe LeVert, who planted citrus at the school with students. The fruit is described as having paler flesh and milder resinous/off-flavor and bitterness than Dunstan, with 8 °Brix. The proposed connection between paler color and reduced resinous flavor is the author’s speculation, not a chemical finding. No LeVert hardiness result is reported. The accompanying video discusses this same sample, so its 8 °Brix should not be counted as independent corroboration.

Summary from transcript: The presenter says the selection came from a fruiting tree at Aquinas High School; whether it arose as a seedling or mutation is uncertain. He says the name honors Joe LeVert, who planted citrus with students. The Ross-supplied fruit weighed 366 g; the presenter reports 8 °Brix and an approximate pH near 3 from a strip. This is the same sample described in the Tropical Fruit Forum post, not an independent measurement. The separate 785.7 g jumbo fruit is Dunstan, not Dunstan LeVert. No hardiness result is reported.
