Variety description
10 August 2026
The variety is a hybrid obtained by crossing Clementine and Minneola tangelo. The tree is characterized by vigorous growth and an upright canopy, reaching a height of 3–4.5 meters. Fruits ripen in the period from November to January.
Fruits are characterized by a bell shape, bright orange color, high vitamin C content, and a sugar content of about 14.2 on the Brix scale. The peel is easily removed, and the number of seeds is minimal or absent.
The variety has high resistance to citrus greening (HLB) and Alternaria brown spot. Due to high yield and growth vigor, the tree requires regular canopy pruning. Fruits are intended for fresh consumption.
