Citrus × tangelo 'Minneola' (Minneola Tangelo)

Citrus × tangelo 'Minneola' (Minneola Tangelo) is a popular citrus hybrid prized for its large, bell-shaped fruits with sweet-tangy flavour and easy-to-peel skin. This cross between a grapefruit and a tangerine produces juicy, deep orange flesh with minimal seeds and a distinctive neck at the stem end. The evergreen tree features glossy green foliage and fragrant white flowers, making it both an ornamental and productive addition to gardens.

Ideal for home orchards and edible landscapes, 'Minneola' thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. It requires cross-pollination with another citrus variety (such as Orlando Tangelo or Mandarin) for optimal fruit production. This vigorous tree is valued for its generous yields of high-quality fruit that ripens in winter, providing fresh citrus when it's most appreciated.
