Tree-run grade citrus fruit is defined as that grade of naturally occurring sound and wholesome citrus fruit which has not been separated either as to grade or size after severance from the tree. In this grade, a tolerance of not more than 5% by count may be allowed for fruit failing to meet the requirements for sound and wholesome fruit, but not more than one-fifth of this tolerance or 1%, shall be allowed for decay at the inspection point. Tree-run grade citrus fruit may be transported in interstate or intrastate commerce in truckload lots by either the producer or by a person receiving it for transport direct from the producer.
