Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a complex triploid hybrid obtained by crossing the Temple tangor and the Dancy and Encore mandarins. The tree grows vigorously, has a spreading crown, and is prone to alternate bearing.

The fruits are large, flattened in shape, and almost neckless. The rind is deep orange, of medium thickness, and easy to peel upon ripening. The flesh is bright orange, juicy, with a high juice content and a sweet taste.

The variety is late-maturing: under California conditions, the fruits ripen from mid-February to March and can remain on the tree until April-May. Its main distinguishing feature is the almost complete absence of seeds, which allows the variety to be grown in mixed plantings.

The plant has been successfully tested on Carrizo citrange and C-35 citrange rootstocks.
