Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a hybrid of Ellendale tangor and Robinson mandarin. The plant has high vigor, the canopy has an upright shape, and small thorns may be present on young trees, which disappear on fruit-bearing branches.

The fruits are late-maturing; the dark orange rind is distinguished by increased durability and resistance to cracking under adverse weather conditions. The flesh is firm and juicy, the sugar content ranges from 11 to 16 degrees Brix, and the segment walls are sufficiently tough.

The fruits are predominantly seedless, however, cross-pollination may result in the presence of 1–3 seeds. The variety is intended for commercial cultivation and requires moderate application of nitrogen fertilizers, while also tolerating formative pruning well.
