Citrus - Tangelo - Minneola

Tangelos are hybrids resulting from the cross of mandarin and grapefruit or mandarin and pummelo.  ‘Minneola’ is a hybrid of ‘Duncan’ grapefruit and ‘Dancy’ mandarin. Fruit is mature beginning in January. The bright, orange red fruit is large and pear-shaped and typically have a fairly prominent neck; however, not all fruit exhibits this characteristic. The fruit has 7-12 seeds. Cross-pollination is recommended for regular production. ‘Dancy’, ‘Algerian’ and ‘Kinnow’ mandarins provide satisfactory pollen.
